More prolific than ever: Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry scored 62 points on Sunday night, a personal best that eased his victory over Portland, as the Clippers moved to the top of the Western Conference thanks to their victory over the Suns.

Certainly, Damian Lillard (32 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) or CJ McCollum (28 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists) have not been unworthy of the Trail Blazers.

But Sunday in San Francisco, Stephen Curry stole the show.

With 62 points, the Golden State star scored close to half of his team's points, ultimately winning Portland 137-122.

Curry stops his free throw streak

The double MVP signed Sunday the most prolific game of his career, a good distance, however, from the absolute record in the NBA, held by Wilt Chamberlain with 100 points in 1962. “I try to remain humble and in the present moment.

As long as I continue to be aggressive and decisive, then good things will continue to happen, ”said Curry, whose game-best total so far was 54 points.

Not everything was perfect Sunday for the star of the six-fold NBA champions, however: by missing a free throw during the first quarter, Curry interrupted a series of 80 converted throws in a row since March 2019. In the conference standings West, the Warriors join Portland, Houston and Sacramento, who have like them as many victories as losses.
