New York: Stephen Curry scored 50 points in a record-shattering performance Sunday (early Monday in Manila) to send the defending champion Golden State Warriors into the second round of the NBA playoffs while a Jimmy Butler ankle injury raised tensions for the triumphant Miami Heat.
Curry, a four-time NBA champion and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, was nearly unstoppable as the Warriors won 120-100 at Sacramento to capture their best-of-seven Western Conference series 4-3.'I just wanted to come out and look for shots early, get my teammates going throughout the game,' Curry said. 'But when I'm looking for shots, it usually works in our favor.
The series continues Tuesday at New York but Butler's status will steal the spotlight until then.'No idea,' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. 'You just don't know with ankle sprains. I don't even know if we will know more by tomorrow. We'll just have to wait and see. It will be a waiting game.'Asked how the ankle felt, Butler said, 'Like a rolled ankle.'At Sacramento, the Kings had no answer for Curry in the winner-take-all battle.
