Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is truly a magician with the basketball. His handles are legendary, and the Atlanta Hawks pair of Trae Young and Clint Capela saw that up close on Sunday.

In the first half of the Warriors' road game against the Hawks at State Farm Arena, the two-time NBA MVP had himself a mismatch against Capela following a switch at the top of the key. Doing what he does best, Chef Curry got cooking with a series of ankle-breaking crossovers that got the Hawks center struggling to keep his balance.

After toying with Capela's ankles for a little while, Curry finished the play with an easy right-handed lay-up.

Curry proved he can do the same against a fellow speedy guard, as he also victimized Young at the beginning of the third period. After using Draymond Green's screen to split the defense and evade Young, Curry got to the paint and finished above the trees with an impressive floater.

He even absorbed the foul and got an extra trip to the line for good measure.

Stephen Curry is once again off to a hot start after missing their last game against the Toronto Raptors due to a tailbone injury. He fired 19 points in the first half and the Warriors finally looked competitive again with their best player in tow. By now, Young and Capela should know better than to reach, when Curry has the ball in his hands.
