The last time the Golden State Warriors met the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum, Steph Curry posted one of the worst games of his career. Curry failed to knock down a field goal, finishing with a season-low two points on 0-of-7 shooting from the field in a brutal 51-point loss to the Grizzlies.
Tuesday night in Memphis was a different story for the All-Star point guard. Curry wasted no time getting on the board at FedEx Forum, catching fire in the first quarter for 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the field with five made 3-pointers.
Curry didn't slow down in a battle against the Grizzlies, scoring a game-high 52 points on 16-of-31 shooting from the field with 12 made triples. Curry added 10 rebounds, eight assists, five steals and a block for a near triple-double performance in 37 minutes.

With 11 made 3-pointers through three quarters, Curry looked to be on pace to match or break Klay Thompson's NBA record of 14 made 3-pointers in a game. However, Curry shot just 1-of-5 from deep in the fourth quarter.
Despite slightly cooling off from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter, Curry and the Warriors closed out the Grizzlies to secure a crucial win in a thrilling back-and-forth contest, 134-125.
With their victory on Tuesday, Curry and the Warriors moved to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference and now hold a tiebreaker over the Grizzlies.
Curry and the Warriors will be back on the court on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers in Southern California to finish their current six-game road swing.
