Stephen Curry passed Jerry West for No. 25 all-time in scoring and tied Andre Miller for No. 43 in steals.
Also: Russell Westbrook moved ahead of Michael Cage in rebounds for No. 65 in NBA history. So something positive for him too, I guess. –

Losing a tight game on a back-to-back when Steph Curry goes for 50 and GSW shoots 28-28 at the line is rough. Rougher still for a Grizz team that *badly* needs a good win. But this showed a team that can compete in playoff hoops when using a playoff rotation. –
