When the season is on the line, you expect the best players to show up. And on Sunday, Stephen Curry did that … and then some.
The Golden State Warriors kept their title defense alive with a 120-100 win over the Sacramento Kings in a Game 7 matchup at Golden 1 Center. And of course, it was Curry who led the way for Golden State.
The Warriors star scored 50 points (30 of which came in the second half) on a career-high 38 field goal attempts in one of the most assertive performances of Curry’s legendary career. It was the most points ever in a Game 7. The win also sets up a LeBron vs. Steph showdown in the second round.
CURRY TO THE RECORD BOOKS.
MOST POINTS EVER IN A GAME 7.50 POINTS.

When the Warriors needed superstar Steph Curry the most, he put the team on his back and led them to a 120-100 win over the Kings! With 50 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, this was one of his greatest performances ever!
