It doesn't get old - Warriors coach Kerr revels in another sensational Curry display

By Sports Desk November 09, 2021 1301

The sight of Stephen Curry dazzling in the NBA will never get old for Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

Curry was in sensational form once again as the Warriors moved to a league-best 9-1 for the season with a 127-113 triumph over the Atlanta Hawks.

He had a season-high 50 points, to go alongside 10 assists. In 35 minutes, he was 14-for-28 from the field, nine-for-19 at the three-point range and drained each of his 13 free throws.

The accolades just keep on coming for an all-time NBA great. This performance marked the 10th 50-point game of his career, while he joined Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry as the only Warriors players in franchise history to put up a line of 50 points and 10 assists.

At 33, Curry is now also the oldest player to record a 50-10 game, surpassing the legendary Chamberlain, while only Michael Jordan (5) has more than his four 50-point games at the age of 32 or older.

"That was just a stunning performance by Steph," Kerr said of Curry. 

"He was amazing. I want to say I've never seen anything like it but I've been watching it for seven years, so I have seen something like it and still it's just incredible to watch.

"It doesn't get old, for sure."

Curry's final act of the evening was typically brilliant as he drained a 16-footer with just under four minutes of time remaining, leaving the court to a standing ovation at the Chase Center.

"It's always nice. You never come out with like a certain number in mind," Curry said.

"It's just when you get it going, you just keep going."
