Steph Curry can't contain himself as the Golden State Warriors beat the Phoenix Suns
Steph Curry has been playing like a man possessed this season. The 33-year-old has been nothing short of otherworldly and is making a strong claim for the MVP award.
Steph Curry came off an uncharacteristic performance against the Phoenix Suns in Arizona, scoring only 12 points in the game. Shooting a career-low from the field, it's safe to say that it was an off-night of miserable proportions.
However, Steph Curry owns the moniker "The Human Torch" for good reason. Lighting up in Friday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns, he went off for 23 points while shooting 6-11 from beyond the arc.
