Golden State Warriors Rumors: Stephen Curry's 51 Points Obscured Several Incredible Performances In The NBA [VIDEO]

Stephen Curry was on pace to score 100 points after the first quarter of the Warriors’ blowout win over the Wizards Wednesday night. Curry wound up scoring 51 points on 19-of-28 shooting, including 11-of-16 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Curry’s performance was so breathtaking that it obscured the incredible nights that five other players had on Wednesday, including two in the Warriors-Wizards clash. Look at what you may have missed while you were picking your jaw up from the floor.

Stephen Curry Guarantee Has Angered The Thunder

John Wall, Wizards

Wall did his part for the Wizards in Washington’s 134-121 loss. Golden State has one of the NBA’s best defenses, but they had no answers for Wall, who put up 41 points and 10 assists while shooting 17-of-25 from the field. It’s not every day that you score 41 points and get outscored by 10 in a head-to-head battle.

Steph Curry Isn't The Only Warrior Who Deserves MVP Buzz

Draymond Green, Warriors

Green may be the most underappreciated player in the league. He quietly scored 12 points, and added 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Yep … that’s a triple-double folks, and it was his NBA-leading 10th of the year. Last season Thunder PG Russell Westbrook led the league with 11 triple-doubles, and the next highest total was four, by Rockets G James Harden. Green remains an underrated linchpin for the Warriors.

Victor Oladipo, Magic

Oladipo almost single-handedly beat the Thunder Wednesday night by dropping 37 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. His performance was really lost in the shuffle because his Magic lost 117-114, and Serge Ibaka’s block on his layup attempt led to the game-winning shot, which we’ll get to in just a moment.

Kevin Durant, Thunder

Durant dropped 37 points of his own on Orlando, along with five rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and a deep dagger from well beyond the 3-point line to close out the game. The outburst was Durant’s third-most points in a game this season; he was 12-for-25 from the field, and he made half of his 12 attempts from beyond the arc.

Russell Westbrook, Thunder

My, oh my. Russell Westbrook probably had the best night of anyone on Wednesday, with all due respect to Curry’s show. Westbrook notched an epic triple-double, scoring 29 points, pulling down 19 rebounds, and handing out 14 assists. It was Westbrook’s second straight triple-double, and his eighth of the season. Westbrook is breathing down Green’s neck for the triple-double title, and yet he still gave up the rock in the closing seconds. Golden State will not have an easy time when they finally run into OKC.
