Steph Curry was revitalized by the Jimmy Butler trade and has been playing like an MVP since the acquisition. The Golden State Warriors continued their seven-game homestand on Monday night, welcoming the Portland Trail Blazers at the Chase Center.
The Warriors began their homestand with a 115-110 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. The team has an opportunity to catch up and possibly move closer to the Top 4 of the Western Conference standings. Coach Steve Kerr's starting five featured Curry, Butler, Moses Moody, Draymond Green and Quinten Post.
Curry is averaging 26.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.4 steals in his career against the Blazers. But how did he perform on Monday's matchup versus a team on a three-game losing streak?

The four-time NBA champion finished with 24 points, two rebounds, three assists and two steals. He went 6-for-14 from the field, including 5-for-11 from 3-point range, and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.

With five 3-point shots in the game, Steph Curry is now two away from becoming the first player in NBA history to make 4,000. He also hasn't lost to the Portland Trail Blazers in 1,469 days after the Golden State Warriors pulled off the 130-120 win on Monday.
It wasn't a solo effort from Curry, who had plenty of help from his teammates. Gary Payton II had a career night, putting up 26 points off the bench against his former team. Buddy Hield had 20 points, two rebounds and seven assists, while Jimmy Butler contributed a triple-double of 15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
The Warriors improved to 12-1 with Butler in the lineup and are now 37-28. They have won five in a row with their next five games at home. They are inching closer to the Top 4 and are just 3.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies.
Here are Steph Curry's stats for the game:
How did Steph Curry perform against the Portland Trail Blazers?
Steph Curry started the game hot, scoring eight points in the first quarter. He made two 3-point shots and only missed one of his four field goal attempts. He added just two points in the second period, but the Golden State Warriors were dominating the game so there was no need for him to take over.
In the third quarter, Curry had his classic burst with 12 points and went toe-to-toe with Anfernee Simons as the Portland Trail Blazers tried to make things interesting. He only had two points in the final period, but it was enough for the Warriors to earn their fifth straight victory.
Curry was seemingly frustrated when he was taken out by Steve Kerr in the third quarter just when he was still feeling hot. Nevertheless, at the age of 36, he needs all the rest he can get, especially with the regular season on its final stretch before the playoffs.
