   Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said of Curry, "He knows the ball's going in before the rest of us. He's doing an amazing job of picking his spots. He's in his hometown, and he's the best player in the league, and he wants to put on a show."

   "It was a cool atmosphere to play in. It was a good night. I can't ask for more. To play like I did and get the win was special," Curry said.
