He left the game early due to the lopsided score, but still managed to record a double-double with 10 assists. He also had six rebounds, one steal, and an 11-of-15 overall shooting percentage.

The Warriors improved to 17-16 with the win, while Philadelphia dropped to 13-19 with the loss.
While Curry’s numbers have been slightly lower this season, he remains the franchise’s cornerstone, and games like Thursday demonstrate how dynamic he can be.
He’ll look to improve on that performance on Saturday when the Warriors face the Memphis Grizzlies.
