Stephen Curry put on a vintage display late into the Warriors‘ comeback win over the Bucks on Saturday night. Scoring 22 points in the fourth period and overtime, including 20 of the Warriors’ last 25 points in regulation, the veteran sharpshooter practically carried his team to victory singlehandedly.
