Dammit if he ain't the most Golden athlete on the scene right now. Steph Curry, aka the Human Torch, came back after missing what seems like a gazillion games and just about took down the Memphis Grizzilies single-handedly. If ever the nickname Human Torch fit like a glove on the NBA star, tonight was the night.
In his first game back from an ankle injury, Steph dropped 38 points in just 26 minutes. His 10-3pt shots made, felt like layups and everything he did just seemed effortless. It looked like the entire Warriors team knew that the Human Torch needed to clean out his flame thrusters, so they simply fed him shots to load up and shoot down.
Meanwhile, Klay Thompson chucked in 21 points and Kevin Durant was able to rev it down from his 30 point nights to a pedestrian 20 points. Klay confirmed that the Warriors high scoring night was "100%" attributable to Steph's return.
As much as we love watching Klay get hot and KD shoot his unstoppable jumper, there's nothing that compares to the overall high us basketball fans get from seeing Steph Curry go all out "Flame On" in a game. In heated performances such as these, #30 is just not human ya'll.
Remember the quote from Rocky II when Apollo Creed
Final Score
Grizzilies 128
Warriors 141
