Stephen Curry has career-high 62 as Warriors beat Blazers
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry let it fly from way out under pressure with a minute-plus left for another perfect swish on the way to a career-high 62 points, and the Golden State Warriors beat Portland 137-122 on Sunday night to split the two-game set with the Trail Blazers.
Curry had the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, finishing 18 for 31 and 8 of 16 on 3-pointers after beginning with a 21-point first quarter.
One small blemish in his brilliant night: Curry had his streak of free throws snapped at a franchise-record 80 Â in the first. The run dated to March 29, 2019, vs. Memphis.
Against Portland, he made a career-high 18 on 19 attempts. Damian Lillard scored 32 points for Portland.
