Stephen Curry Rips Thunder for 32 Points in Opening Night Eruption
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry received his championship ring, made a speech to the Oracle Arena fans and then reminded everyone why he is a two-time MVP by dropping 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a season-opening 108-100 victory Tuesday.
Curry was ruthlessly efficient in the process, connecting on 11-of-20 shots from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range.
He needed just a sliver of space to hit momentum-swinging triples after he ran through ball screens and glided through defenders off the bounce. Curry also brought the clutch with an and-1 with less than two minutes remaining after the Thunder pulled within two points.
