Stephen Curry looked to be in mid-season form during Golden State‘s Friday night preseason finale, carving up the Portland Trail Blazers defense for 28 points in the first half.
The Warriors trailed by 16 at one point in the first quarter, but came back once Curry found his groove beyond the arc with plays like this one where he snatched the offensive rebound only to run back to the three-point line and make it rain a la Reggie Miller.

The Warriors' marksman had it going from deep, connecting on 10-of-15 field goals in the first half, including 6-of-9 from downtown. Golden State quickly made up the deficit, eventually going to the locker room with a 57-56 lead.
