With a barrage of three-pointers and shifty slashes into the paint, Stephen Curry put on a show for the Golden State Warriors, scoring a game-high 31 points in his team's 95-85 Game 1 win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday.

Steph Curry scores 31 points, Jimmy Butler scores six points in final two minutes to help Rockets survive Game 1.

When the Golden State Warriors added Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline, it felt like a proper present for Steph Curry to at least give him a chance to play -- as he termed it -- meaningful basketball again.
