Before the Super Bowl, Steph Curry and Luka Doncic headlined a thrilling battle between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. The duo of All-Star guards didn’t disappoint.
Although Doncic got the last laugh, scoring 42 points in the Mavericks’ 134-132 victory, Curry’s performance stole the show. The two-time Most Valuable Player tallied an electrifying 57 points on 19-of-31 shooting from the field. Curry added five assists and two rebounds in 37 minutes.
On his way to a game-high 57 points, Curry caught fire from beyond the arc, drilling 11 triples, including a deep jumper from the Mavericks’ logo.

It didn’t take long for Curry to heat up. The six-time All-Star notched 30 points in the first half in Dallas. To cap-off his fierce first half, Curry drilled a highlight-worthy off-balanced triple.
