Stephen Curry Returns, Breaks Jordan 35 Point Record vs Timberwolves

Stephen Curry returned from a quad injury and poured in 39 points in Friday night’s 127 120 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In doing so he recorded his 94th 35 point game since turning 30, passing Michael Jordan’s 93 mark. The performance came even as the Warriors missed Al Horford and Draymond Green and the Wolves were without Anthony Edwards. Merlin sees a familiar picture. Curry remains an elite scorer who can rewrite history in a single night, yet Golden State’s fate still hinges on health and depth. He has topped 35 points six times this season in just 17 games, so scoring is no longer the question. The question is whether supporting pieces can stay healthy long enough to match his magic.
