After a rare off-night shooting against the Dallas Mavericks, Curry was back to his usual form as he exploded for 42 points on 12-for-22 shooting. The 30-year-old was particularly impressive in the second quarter and dropped 15 points to keep the Warriors in the game. With 0.5 seconds remaining in the regulation period, the two-time MVP had a game-winning layup to close out the game.

However, it was not just Curry's heroics that helped the Warriors get this win. The two-time Finals MVP, Kevin Durant had 35 points, including his 14-point third quarter performance that gave the Warriors the edge in this contest. This was Durant's 15th game with 30 or more points this season, including three 40-point games and a 50-point game.
