San Francisco, CA – Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors faced the Oklahoma City Thunder. As expected, superstar Stephen Curry lit up the scoreboard on the way to a 118 to 97 victory. Curry had 34 points in the game to lead all scorers. It was his 18th 30 point outing in his last 20 games.
Although the Warriors' flamethrower was his usual self that night, the best shooter on the court wasn't Curry. It was the second-year Canadian guard Mychal Mulder. He scored 25 points off the bench against the Thunder, one shy of his career-high 26 points. He and Curry both launched 13 3-pointers, Mulder outdid Curry by making seven to Curry's six.

“Yeah, that's a tough job. It's tough to do. He (Curry) shoots the ball so well. So it feels good. Obviously, to catch a little bit of rhythm. I thought my teammates just did a great job at moving the ball, and I was the one at the end of the possession today,” the Warriors guard told ClutchPoints.
Mulder is one of the better shooters on Golden State's roster. He is shooting 45% from the field and 39% from downtown. Seven made 3-pointers marked a new career-high for Mulder.
“I think we did a good job in executing our plays. Finding guys in the right positions and at the end of the day, guys were knocking down shots, myself included, so I think we did, we did a great job on that end of the floor, and that's something that we want to carry over into our next few games,” Mulder explained about his career night.
The Warriors improve on a solid record of 20-11 at home and have won five of their last six games in the Chase Center. They will face the Thunder again Saturday at home, searching for another victory in pursuit of a seventh or eighth spot in the postseason.
