Warriors

A new day, a new personal NBA playoff record for Steph Curry.

With 25 first-half points against the Blazers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Monday night, the Warriors superstar set a new high-water mark for most first-half points in his playoff career.

Curry was sensational in the half, putting up those 25 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field, including 5-of-7 on 3-pointers.

Curry was having a shootout with Blazers big man Meyers Leonard, who set a career high for any game of his career with 25 points of his own in the first half.

The Moda Center crowd was getting into it.

Curry and Leonard finished with 37 points and 30 points, respectively.
