• Curry's 54 points eclipsed his previous career high of 42 points (@Portland 04/14/10) and is the most points by a Warrior since Purvis Short scored 59 vs. New Jersey on Nov. 17, 1984.
• The last player to score 54 in a game was Deron Williams, who had 57 on March 3, 2012 against the Bobcats. Like Curry, Williams' career-high came on the road.

• Curry did more than score, as he also led the Warriors in assists (7) and tied for the team-high in rebounds (6, with Festus Ezeli).
• Curry became the first visiting player to score 50 points at Madison Square Garden since LeBron James in 2009.
• Curry scored the most points in NBA history for a player with 10+ 3PTM. The previous record was held by Ray Allen with 47 points in '01-02.
