Curry’s 53-point eruption Saturday in The Big Easy pitted him with Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, and Jerry West as the only four players ever to score 118 points through the first three games of the season.

Blake Griffin led the way with 22 points and 10 rebounds and Chris Paul added 17 points for the Clippers.

The Warriors humiliated Memphis with a dazzling display of rugged defense, three-point shots raining from the sky and dynamic drives to the basket. While it’s still early in the season, this is hugely positive for them as much speculation surrounded their potential without head coach Steve Kerr.
