Stephen Curry Drops 52 Points in a Historic Performance Against the Grizzlies
What a night for Stephen Curry! Just when you think you've seen it all, he goes out and delivers another jaw-dropping performance. The Golden State Warriors' superstar put on a show against the Memphis Grizzlies, lighting up the scoreboard with 52 points in a thrilling 134-125 victory. And let’s not forget—he drained 12 three-pointers!
Curry has done it again, proving why he is the greatest shooter the game has ever seen. Shooting 12-for-20 from beyond the arc, he nearly matched his personal record and came just two shy of tying Klay Thompson’s single-game record of 14 three-pointers. His ability to take over games, especially at this stage of his career, is simply legendary.
Beyond the sheer numbers, this win was crucial for the Warriors. It helped them secure a key tiebreaker over Memphis as they continue their fight for playoff positioning. Now tied with the Grizzlies at 44-31, the Warriors hold the edge in the battle for the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference.

Curry’s stat line from this game is one for the history books: 52 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, and 5 steals. That makes him only the third player in NBA history to notch at least 50 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals in a single game. Joining the elite company of Rick Barry and Anthony Davis, Curry once again showcased his all-around greatness.
And let’s talk about that first half! Curry erupted for 32 points, knocking down 8 of 10 three-pointers. With that, he tied LeBron James for the third-most 30-point halves since the NBA began tracking detailed play-by-play stats in 1997-98. His six games with at least eight three-pointers in a half? That’s an NBA record as well.
Of course, it wasn’t just Curry doing damage. Jimmy Butler contributed 27 points, six rebounds, and four assists, while Draymond Green put up a triple-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists. The Warriors needed every bit of it to fend off Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. Morant finished with 36 points, while Jaren Jackson Jr. added 22 before fouling out late in the game.
This victory also exposed the struggles Memphis has faced recently. The Grizzlies have now lost four straight and eight of their last ten games. The firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins hasn’t sparked the turnaround they hoped for, and with the playoffs looming, they have serious adjustments to make.
Meanwhile, Golden State is trending upward, winning three in a row and carrying momentum into the season’s final stretch. If Curry keeps playing at this level, the Warriors are a dangerous team nobody will want to face come playoff time.
Stephen Curry continues to redefine greatness. At 37 years old, he’s still putting up performances that remind us why he is a generational talent. When he catches fire, the game becomes a spectacle, and last night was yet another masterpiece in his legendary career.
