This marked his 33rd career 40-point game since turning 30, the second-most in NBA history behind Michael Jordan. Curry celebrated his clutch performance with a 'night night' gesture.

That's a 2-0 start on the road for the Warriors. Wins in Sacramento and Houston. Steph Curry's four fourth quarter 3s boost them past the Rockets. Chris Paul a +22 in his first bench game ever. Klay Thompson 19 points on 12 shots. Warriors in New Orleans tomorrow.
Kevin Huerter knocks down a triple. He needed that. 21-15 Kings lead midway through the first.
Stephen Curry, sheesh. https://t.co/v69mk2S6ZE
Three straight Steph Curry fourth quarter 3s for some separation. The third after an Alperen Sengun switch. Plenty of Warriors fans in Houston. https://t.co/mvAb7mKHx9
The Warriors intend to play their veterans on both sides of these early season back-to-backs, assuming health, per Kerr. That means Curry, Draymond, Klay, Paul expected to play tonight in Houston and tomorrow in New Orleans.
Steph Curry and Jonathan Kuminga are both questionable for the Warriors tomorrow in Houston. Left foot soreness for both. Curry was icing his left foot last night postgame. Warriors had a light workout in Sacramento today. Only young guys and Draymond Green.

Steph Curry TOOK OVER (41 PTS, 7 3PM) as the Warriors win a close one in Sacramento! 😤 https://t.co/RqHsZpkUfm
Curry with 41 points on 19 shots (only 6 FTs). I continue to feel blessed to watch this man play the game of basketball.
The last few minutes were very frustrating, but Curry finished it off. Great win on the road for the Warriors. Some notables: -Offense went through Curry way more, alleviating pressure from teammates and allowing them to play more freely -Way more PnR led to 32 assists and 19 TO… https://t.co/AWI2w6BTtx
