Stephen Curry/Klay Thompson (Golden State PG/SG)- The Splash Bros. combined for 54 points in a 131-106 win over the Houston Rockets. Curry posted a double-double of 27 points and 11 rebounds, while Thompson dropped 27 points and blocked five shots in the big win. The Warriors' duo has been one of the best backcourts in the NBA this season, and are leading Golden State to a top four seed in the West.
Kyle Korver (Atlanta SG/SF)- Caught fire from 3-point range, hitting seven shots from deep in a 107-99 win against the Chicago Bulls. Korver and the Hawks kept rolling along, winning their 26th game in their last 28 contests. Korver is shooting over 50% from the field and from 3-point range, and over 90% from the free throw range this season, and is making a strong case for an all-star bid.
Andrew Wiggins (Minnesota SG/SF)- Scored a career-high 31 points in a 113-105 win over the Denver Nuggets. Wiggins hit four 3-pointers and grabbed nine rebounds in the win, and is starting to lock up the Rookie of the Year award. He has scored 20+ points in eight of his last ten games, and is shooting over 50% from the field and over 44% from 3-point range during that span.
Matt Barnes (Los Angeles SF)- Tied a season-high with 26 points in a 117-108 win over the Sacramento Kings. Barnes hit 10 of his 15 shots attempts (four 3-pointers), and also grabbed 10 rebounds in what was one of his best games of the season. He has played more minutes recently than he has all season, and has scored in double-digits in six of his last seven games as a result.
Jason Thompson (Sacramento PF/C)- Recorded a double-double of 23 points and a career-high 22 rebounds in a 117-108 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Thompson started in place of an injured DeMarcus Cousins, and had himself a career-night, scoring and and grabbing more rebounds than he had in his last three games combined.
Play of the Night
Warriors point guard Stephen Curry dished out what was one of the wackiest assists of the season in a win over the Rockets. He threw the ball behind his back to Harrison Barnes for the dunk.
