After scoring a game-high 26 points in the Golden State Warriors’ win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, Steph Curry picked up where he left off during the second leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the New York Knicks.
In the first quarter, the two-time Most Valuable Player tallied 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field with two boards and one slick assist. After Draymond Green hit Curry on a cutting pass, the Golden State point guard quickly flipped the pass back at his teammate with a behind-the-back dish.
Following Curry’s smooth pass, Green knocked down the open 3-pointer early in the opening quarter.

Adding to his first-half highlight reel, Curry drilled a jumper against the Knicks from way beyond the arc.
