Stephen Curry had an explosive performance on Tuesday night as he scored 52 points including made 12 three-pointers en route to a 134–125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The Golden State Warriors star made some NBA history as well, passing the late, great Jerry West on the NBA's all-time scoring list to reach No. 25 on the rankings.

West, who was the model for the NBA logo and was in many ways the original prototype for Curry’s combo-guard archetype as a do-everything scoring dynamo with a sweet shot, was a legendary player for the Lakers in the 1960s and 1970s before helping build two separate dynasties in Los Angeles.

Nikola Jokic scored 61 points, the most in the NBA this season, but it wasn’t enough as the Nuggets fell 140-139 to the Timberwolves in double overtime Tuesday night in Denver. Nickeil Alexander-Walker hit two of three free throws with 0.1 seconds remaining to spoil the Nuggets’ superstar’s big night.
