Curry's 57 points not enough as Luka, Mavs roll

Stephen Curry scored 57 points but it wasn't enough to overcome a 42-point, 11-assist performance from Luka Doncic as the Golden State Warriors lost to the Dallas Mavericks 134-132 Saturday night.

Curry finished 19-for-31 from the field and 11-for-19 from beyond the arc in 37 minutes. Doncic went 12-for-23 from the field and 7-for-12 from deep in 38 minutes.

Curry, who two weeks ago passed Reggie Miller for second on the all-time 3-pointers-made list, continues piling up shooting numbers. Saturday's performance was the 40th time in Curry's 12-year career that he had at least 40 points in a game and the eighth time he had at least 50 points in a game. It also was the 16th time that Curry made 10 or more 3s in a game.

Curry dominated throughout, pouring in 30 points in the first half while hitting shots from all over the floor. After knocking down a 3-pointer while standing near the Mavericks' logo, Curry broke out his famous shimmy, a celebratory move that has stamped some of the biggest moments in his career.

Curry added five assists, two rebounds and two steals on a night when the Mavericks repeatedly threw extra defenders his way to try and slow his momentum.

"Every time he shot the ball, I thought it was going in," Doncic said in a postgame interview with ESPN.

Curry's outburst comes just over a month after he set a career-high with 62 points in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Jan. 3.

"Sublime," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of Curry's performance: "It was ridiculous the shots he was hitting. The degree of difficulty. The ease with which he made them. He's never played better. We're talking about a two-time MVP, three-time champion, I've never seen him like this. He just looks so strong to me. He's always obviously been an incredible shooter but he looks stronger to me, just getting by people, fending them off on drives to the rim, finishing. And of course the shot-making is almost unfathomable what he's doing out there."
