The Golden State Warriors are currently taking on the Memphis Grizzlies on the road at FedEx Forum in a crucial Western Conference matchup.
Golden State got off to a hot start in the game as they led the Grizzlies at the end of the first quarter and during halftime, but Memphis was able to storm back in the third quarter to take the lead.
Despite this, Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry has kept his team in the game as he has put together another incredible performance.
Heading into the fourth quarter, Curry has recorded 45 points on 14-23 shooting from the field and 11-15 from three-point range to go along with seven rebounds, eight assists and five steals.
This is another historic performance out of the future Hall of Fame point guard and he also reached a new NBA milestone during it.
According to Warriors PR, Curry has passed Jerry West for 25th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

Despite this, the Warriors need all the scoring Curry can give them to take down the Grizzlies in a crucial matchup that has a massive impact on the seeding in the Western Conference with the playoff right around the corner.
With a victory on Tuesday, Golden State will move ahead of Memphis for the fifth spot in the West standings and they will also secure the tiebreaker between the two teams.
This is a massive deal for the Warriors as they continue to fight to stay out of the Play-In and it is clear that Curry is doing everything he can and then some to help them take down the Grizzlies.
