SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green’s awaited return brought the fans inside Chase Center to their feet, but Steph Curry’s performance brought the house down.
Curry’s season-high 47 points came on his 34th birthday and fueled a 126-112 win against the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Curry has had plenty of success on his birthday, averaging 26.5 points and shooting 53% from 3 in six games on March 14. But Monday it was Green’s presence — and maybe a little birthday magic — that sent Curry into a comfortable rhythm.
