In December, Stephen Curry slogged through his worst calendar month in years. In January, he resembled the perennial All-Star we're used to. In a small sample of three February games, he has played like the best player in the NBA.
After sitting out against Portland on Jan. 29, Curry unleashed his best three-game stretch of the season, averaging 34.3 PPG, 9.3 APG and 3.0 SPG while making 22 3-pointers. His worst game? That was 29 points, 11 assists and three steals in a win over the Clippers.
