Curry leads Warriors to 12th straight home win
On the same day NBA legend Steve Nash officially retired, the game's newest shining star at point elicited memories of the future Hall of Famer.
Stephen Curry was a one-man highlight-reel Saturday, dazzling with an array of high-difficulty shots en route to a game-high 24 points in the Golden State Warriors' 106-91 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Curry shot 8-of-18 from the field, added three assists and three steals to lead the Warriors to their 12th consecutive victory at home. The win was Golden State's 39th double-digit victory of the season and its 18th straight home win versus Western Conference teams.
Golden State's streak of 28-straight home games scoring at least 100 points is the longest such streak since the Suns in 2009 (36 straight).
