Curry Hits 12 3s And Scores 51 As Warriors Moving Up In The West With A Victory Over The Grizzlies

The last time Stephen Curry and Golden State played in Memphis, he was held without a field goal and the Warriors lost by 51 points.

Curry didn't recall the frustration from that loss in December . And there was no repeat on Tuesday night.

Curry fired up 3-pointers throughout the contest, connecting on a dozen from long range on the way to a 52-point performance as the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 134-125.

"I had actually forgotten," Curry said when asked if the teams' previous game was motivation. "I was just kind of more focused on how big this game was for us."

The victory moved the Warriors past Memphis into fifth place in the Western Conference, and benefitted in two areas. With the victory, Golden State won the season series 3-1, in essence giving them a two-game lead over the Grizzlies in the standings.
