Despite the Grizzlies' comeback, they have not had an answer for Warriors superstar center Stephen Curry as he has gone off in the first half.

This is another incredible game for the 37-year-old future Hall of Famer as he continues to be one of the top players in the NBA.
Jimmy Butler recorded 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in the first half while Quentin Posts added nine points off the bench.
Of course, the Warriors will need Curry and the rest of their roster to continue to play well if they want to take down the Grizzlies in what is a huge matchup regarding the seeding in the Western Conference.
With Curry already having a record setting first half, he may put together an even more historic performance by the end of the game.
