Stephen Curry hit two clutch 3-pointers, the second followed by his signature ‘night night’ celebration in the Warriors’ 127-116 victory over the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Sunday. The 36-year-old scored a season-high 36 points in 36 minutes.

The Warriors seemingly felt a bit of deja vu, having begun their road trip with a 31-point lead against the Rockets that turned into a narrow overtime victory. Oklahoma City cut the Warriors’ once 30-point lead to as few as six, but the Dubs were able to prevent going to overtime. The Warriors finished the difficult road trip with a 4-1 record, with impressive wins over the 7-1 Boston Celtics and the 8-1 Thunder.

KUMINGA SPARKS 14-POINT TURNAROUND IN SECOND QUARTER
Jonathan Kuminga scored 12 points in the second quarter, helping the Warriors turn a seven-point deficit into a seven-point lead. Kuminga opened the quarter with two threes, one from each wing. Then, he sealed his defender for a layup, hit a contested mid-range jumper and flashed to the rim for a two-hand slam. Kuminga shot 5-for-6 from the field in the frame.

CURRY SCORES 17 POINTS IN WARRIORS’ HIGHEST-SCORING QUARTER OF SEASON
Stephen Curry scored 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting in the third quarter, nearly outscoring the Thunder by himself in the fame. Known as the NBA’s all-time leader in made 3-pointers, Curry was particularly effective inside the arc over this stretch, making four of his five field goal attempts in the paint, all of which were heavily contested. The Warriors scored a season-high 42 points in the quarter, doubling up Oklahoma City (21 points). Curry finished with a season-high 28 points, surpassing his 27-point game against the Celtics.

MELTON STARTS AND SPLASHES
De’Anthony Melton started for the first time as a Warrior in his second game back from a lower back strain. Melton had his highest scoring output as a Warrior, finishing with 16 points. He was very effective as a 3-point shooter, especially from the corners, shooting 5-for-8 from three.
