Steph Curry put on a show Friday night as his Golden State Warriors<\/a> took down the Denver Nuggets 118-104, snapping a losing streak against them that dated back to 2022. The superstar guard turned in an MVP-level effort, pouring in a game-high 36 points on 13-of-24 shooting, including seven 3s, as the Warriors closed in on homecourt positioning in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n Curry\u2019s been on a tear lately \u2014 his 36-point outing came on the heels of two monster performances where he scored 37 and 52, respectively. With their fifth consecutive win, the Warriors are now just half a game behind Denver for the No. 4 seed in the West.<\/p>\n Fans on X (formerly Twitter) showered Curry with praise, with one boldly claiming he outshined the LA Lakers\u2019 star duo of LeBron James<\/a> and Luka Doncic:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n \u201cClears Luka and LeBron combined,\u201d one said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cChef is f**king cooking \ud83e\udee1\ud83e\udee1,\u201d another said<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cApril Steph has arrived,\u201d another added<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The night before, Steph Curry outplayed both James and Doncic in a head-to-head clash, dropping 37 points to LeBron\u2019s 33, while Doncic struggled with just 19 points on 6-for-17 shooting.<\/p>\n \u201cDraymond and curry best duo in the league rn,\u201d one fan said<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cHe is such a GOAT,\u201d another commented<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cPeaking at just the right time,\u201d another added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Steph Curry\u2019s 36-point explosion helped the Warriors climb to 46-31, closing the gap on the Nuggets, who dropped to 47-31.
