Don't sleep on the Phoenix Suns' point guards. Both Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight are enjoying All-Star-worthy seasons and rank as good defenders for their position.
But they were no match for Stephen Curry.
The Golden State Warriors superstar simply toyed with the Suns on Friday night, dropping 27 points on 7-of-8 shooting from deep in the first half, before finishing with 41 points with six rebounds, eight assists, and nine 3-pointers. "Chef Curry" was so dominant he didn't need to play in the fourth quarter for a third straight game.
Curry's performance carried his squad to a 135-116 victory, staying perfect with their 17th straight win to start the season.
