Another big night for Curry as Warriors breeze past Memphis

Janie McCauley - Associated Press

OAKLAND, California – Stephen Curry scored 21 of his 30 points in an emphatic third-quarter stretch and the reigning NBA MVP followed up his 53-point performance from three days earlier with another gem to lead the unbeaten Golden State Warriors past the Memphis Grizzlies 119-69 on Monday night (Tuesday in Manila).

Curry did not play in the fourth quarter with his team up big after shooting 10 for 16 and hitting four 3-pointers to give him 21 through four games - even after Grizzlies coach David Joerger joked before the game, ''We're going to put three guys on him tonight.''

Curry also had a huge third quarter with a career-best 28 points in Saturday's win at New Orleans, and he won Western Conference Player of the Week honors after averaging a league-best 39.3 points.

The Grizzlies starters combined to shoot 11 for 46, led by Marc Gasol's 13 points. They were outscored 72-27 over the second and third quarters.
