The calendar flipped to April, and Stephen Curry did what he does best—elevate his game when it matters most. In a scorching start to the month, the Golden State Warriors’ superstar has been on an absolute tear, torching the Western Conference’s elite teams in consecutive matchups. Curry dropped a staggering total of 125 points in just three games, single-handedly dismantling the 3rd, 4th, and 5th seeds in the West.
Let’s break down what might be one of the most impressive three-game stretches of his illustrious career:
Vs. Memphis Grizzlies: 52 PTS, 10 REB, 8 AST
Facing the always feisty Memphis Grizzlies, Curry delivered a vintage performance, erupting for 52 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists. It was a game that showcased his full offensive arsenal—from deep threes to slippery drives to the basket. Curry’s shooting was electric, hitting step-backs, fadeaways, and heat checks from well beyond the arc. Memphis had no answer, despite throwing every defender and scheme at him. It wasn’t just the volume—it was the efficiency, the flair, and the unrelenting pace that reminded everyone why he’s the most feared shooter in NBA history.
Vs. Los Angeles Lakers: 37 PTS, 3 REB, 6 AST
Next up was a marquee matchup against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, a team fighting to secure playoff positioning. With the basketball world watching, Curry showed up big again, putting up 37 points to lead the Warriors to another critical win. He played with poise and precision, carving up the Lakers’ defense with off-ball movement and lightning-quick releases. While the Lakers tried to slow him down with double teams and aggressive traps, Curry’s ability to create space and read the floor proved too much. It was a masterclass in high-IQ basketball and another reminder that big moments are Curry’s playground.
Vs. Denver Nuggets: 36 PTS, 2 REB, 5 AST
In what many considered a measuring stick game against the defending champion Denver Nuggets, Curry didn’t disappoint. Against MVP frontrunner Nikola Jokić and a physical Denver squad, Curry lit up the scoreboard for 36 points. He relentlessly attacked mismatches and hit clutch shots to keep the Warriors ahead during critical stretches. Whether in transition or half-court sets, he dictated tempo and made sure the Nuggets felt his presence every time he touched the ball.
April Steph: Locked In
In total, Curry averaged 41.6 points per game over this three-game span, with high shooting percentages and limited turnovers. More importantly, these performances came against playoff-bound teams with strong defenses. This isn’t just stat-padding—this is Curry making a late-season statement, showing he’s still one of the most dangerous players on the planet when locked in.
At 36 years old, he’s playing like he’s in his prime. With the playoffs looming, April Steph could be a nightmare for any team that draws the Warriors. If these past three games are any indication, Stephen Curry isn’t just heating up—he’s on fire. And that’s bad news for the rest of the NBA.
