Stephen Curry Ignites Warriors with Back-to-Back 40-Point Outbursts, Ties Jordan's Record

Stephen Curry delivered two volcanic performances against the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 49 points on Friday night (Nov 15) in a 109-108 survival win, two days after a 46-point effort. His Friday night heroics included crucial free throws, where he baited De'Aaron Fox into a foul and mocked Victor Wembanyama's attempt to rile up the crowd. Curry tied Michael Jordan's record for most 40-point games after turning 30, hitting 44 such games, and achieved his first back-to-back 40-point games since 2022, ending the Warriors' six-game road losing streak. This resurgence followed a recent illness and an inefficient 13-point game, with Curry crediting a Steve Kerr speech for inspiration. He also made a statement pregame by wearing Kobe 6's.
