Stephen Curry produced a pair of dazzling displays for the Golden State Warriors in San Antonio last week, but he isn't the only star player to have exploded for a pair of 45-point games so far this season.
Lauri Markkanen joined Curry as the only two players to have gone for two 45+ point games, with the Utah Jazz forward dropping 47 points on Sunday in a thrilling overtime win against the Chicago Bulls. It's easy to forget that Curry and Markkanen could have been teammates, but the Warriors were unwilling to make a deal with the Jazz in failed trade negotiations that are starting to look more regretful from a Golden State perspective.
