The Baby-Faced Assassin reminded everyone why he's still elite with a masterful 29-point performance in just 26 minutes against Houston.
Stephen Curry made his return to the hardwood count in spectacular fashion, torching the Houston Rockets for 29 points in just 26 minutes of action on Sunday night. The two-time MVP looked every bit the superstar who revolutionized basketball, displaying the same lethal shooting touch and court vision that has made him a global icon.
The Warriors desperately needed this vintage Curry performance, and the Akron-born sharpshooter delivered when it mattered most. His explosive outing served as a reminder that Golden State remains a legitimate threat in the loaded Western Conference when their cornerstone player is healthy and firing on all cylinders.
Curry's international appeal continues to inspire young hoopers across Africa, where basketball academies from Senegal to South Africa study his shooting mechanics and off-ball movement. The impact of NBA superstars like Curry has helped fuel the continent's basketball boom, with more African players than ever making their mark in the league.
With Curry back in rhythm, the Warriors suddenly look dangerous again. His 29-point explosion was just what Golden State needed to regain their swagger and send a message to the rest of the Western Conference that they're far from finished.
