Curry shines in Warriors win: Live updates, scores, highlights image

Stephen Curry and the Warriors hosted Ja Morant and the Grizzlies in San Francisco on Friday, and Chef Curry was in vintage form. 

Curry led the way for Golden State as they defeated Memphis 113-104, scoring 46 points (13-of-22 from the field, including 8-of-14 from distance), adding four rebounds and four assists.

The Warriors maintain the second-best record in the NBA - just one game behind the Phoenix Suns - while the Grizzlies had been one of the hottest teams in the league, winning seven of their previous 10 games. Memphis just returned its star guard Morant to the lineup this past week following a 10-game absence due to a knee injury, but his return didn't go as planned.

Just weeks after the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder by an NBA-record margin of 73 points, Oklahoma City spoiled Morant's return with a win over Memphis. After the game, Morant revealed he was "hurt" by things he heard the Grizzlies fans say to him during the game, telling him to go back to the bench after the team's hot streak was put to a halt by the Thunder.

Morant finished with 21 points, six assists and three rebounds.
