The 37-year-old Warriors star is averaging 24.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game on the season, coming off a 52-point outing with 12 made three-pointers in their last win. Curry has been incredible, even in year 16, and continues to do unbelievable things like this, even on the big stage.

While the Warriors were led by a 22-point first-half from Brandin Podziemski, Curry is certainly doing his usual thing as Golden State tries to stay hot against the Lakers.
