In just his second game back from a quad injury that kept him out for more than two weeks, Steph Curry exploded for 48 points. Despite the scoring outburst, the Golden State Warriors came up short, losing 136-131 to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. The loss only added to the growing frustration among Warriors fans.In Curry’s fourth 40-point performance of the season, he hit 16 shots on only 26 attempts, including 12 three-pointers, and went a perfect 4-4 from the free throw line.However, the effort did not result in a win, leaving many fans wondering what more Curry can realistically do to carry Golden State over the line."I wish he had the help Bron has 💔💔,” @jahdaestrapz said.“All while experiencing immense back pain from carrying the team,” @Cooked_By_Curry wrote.“No help 😓,” @Odig_ie said.“He needs a team!” @critsttv wrote.“F**kin team sucks . Wasting his amazing szn at 37 years old cuz no one can score or play defense,” @Zurt___ said.“sadly the team is horrible,” @riqqywiqqy wrote.Steph Curry’s performance came on a night when help was hard to find. Jimmy Butler, the team’s second-best player, finished with just 16 points on 3-11 FG. The rest of the starting lineup did little to make up the difference, with Draymond Green, Moses Moody, and Quentin Post combining for 37 points and a collective box plus minus of -13.Portland, on the other hand, was co-led by Jerami Grant and Shaedon Sharpe, who recorded 35 points each. Additionally, Deni Avdija stepped up in the clutch. Avdija made several key plays down the stretch to help the Blazers trim the difference, ultimately ending the contest with 26 points, seven rebounds and eight assists.Steph Curry surpasses Michael Jordan with latest 48-point outing Even though the Golden State Warriors suffered a loss on Sunday, it was still a historic night for Steph Curry.Since turning 30, he has now recorded 45 games with at least 40 points, moving past Michael Jordan, who previously held the mark with 44.
