Steph Curry Stats Tonight: How did Warriors superstar fare against Phoenix Suns? (Apr. 8)

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors looked to bounce back after a 106-96 loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Curry, who struggled with three points in the loss, looked to do much better against the Phoenix Suns two nights later. A win by the Dubs would give them a boost in their goal of grabbing at least a top-four spot in the Western Conference.

Curry shook off his lethargic shooting against Houston with a 13-point display in the first 12 minutes in Phoenix. The two-time MVP went 5-for-7, including 2-for-3 from deep after finishing with a 1-for-10 clip against the Rockets. Curry’s fast start pushed the Warriors to a 37-24 lead at the end of the period.

Curry's efficiency dropped in the second quarter, where he made 2-for-6 shots. The point guard joined the Warriors' inside dominance by making both of his baskets inside the paint. Despite the inefficient stretch, the home team headed into the halftime break with a 69-43 lead.

The Warriors opened the third quarter with a 7-0 spurt behind five points and an assist from Steph Curry. After the initial flurry, Curry and Co. buckled down on defense to deliver their best performance on that end in the game. They limited the home team to 18 points to extend their lead to 95-61 with a quarter left to play.

The All-Star point guard played cheerleader along the sidelines in the fourth quarter as the Warriors completed a 133-95 rout of the Phoenix Suns.

Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors remain in a tight race for an outright playoff ticket

Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors improved to 47-32 after whipping the Phoenix Suns 133-95 on Tuesday. They momentarily rose to No. 5 in the Western Conference while the LA Clippers (46-32) led the San Antonio Spurs as of press time.

James Harden and Co. are poised to take over the No. 5 spot and dropped Curry's team to No. 6 by virtue of the tiebreaker. LA, which won the season series against Golden State (3-0) and Memphis (3-0), gets the advantage over the two.

As it stands, the Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets are all battling for a guaranteed playoff spot. With three games remaining for each team, the playoff jostling will only get more intense in the next few days.
