Draymond Green said “the NBA is lucky” to have Curry because “this man is going into every arena putting on a show. Sounds like it’s a home game every time he does it. We’re all lucky to watch him operate the way he operates.”

- Warriors guard Klay Thompson speaks on coming off the bench for the first time since his rookie season:
- Butler: “When you put a bunch of good basketball players together on the floor, they always figure out a way to win. We should be 4-0. I’m not going to lie to you. Sick to my stomach because of it since I got here. But we’re going to figure it out.”
- Ryan Rollins asked for Curry's jersey postgame. Curry obliged and signed it for him. Also highlighted how Rollins is using speed to create advantages and reading the floor: "You obviously saw tonight he played fearless out there. I'm happy for him, but also pissed off."
- After recording Golden State’s first triple-double this season, Jimmy Butler says “you can’t get a triple-double without your teammates. That’s for damn sure. … I’m just happy that we won — triple-double or not.” More:
00:00 - Butler said the shots Curry "takes and makes are absolutely incredible.” About his fallaway third-quarter triple: “For him to know that ball is going in and for everybody probably in the building, maybe even in the world, to know that ball is going in -- it’s incredible." More:
00:00 - Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on Stephen Curry’s showing: “The guy is 37 years old. Incredible. Fifty-two points with people draped all over him all game long. The conditioning. The skill. The audacity. The belief. It’s just incredible to watch Steph at work.” More:
00:00 - Draymond Green said Butler is a “franchise changer” for the Warriors. “He’s helping revitalize what we’ve got here. The belief amongst this team now that he’s arrived as opposed to what it was before he got here — it’s night and day.” More:
00:00 - Curry says he doesn’t take the response the Warriors get at opposing arenas for granted. “I actually thrive off of it. … Not only does it keep me in the moment and keep me motivated, you do know that’s probably one of the things you’ll miss when it’s all over.” More:
00:00 - Curry said “it was fun” to catch fire in “a really cool atmosphere” while scoring 56 for the Warriors. “Once you see a couple go down, juices start flowing and the rim grows and you just keep shooting and having fun with it.” More:
00:00 - Curry got "MVP" chants in the fourth quarter. He remembered Warriors fans at Oracle Arena chanting "Beat LA" but "the Laker fans were way louder when Kobe (Bryant) came in. ... It's sports. It's fun. Embrace it all." "Basketball is in a really good place." More:
00:00 - Jimmy Butler said the Rockets “did a good job of whatever you want to call it” against Stephen Curry. “I’ve never seen an individual get fouled more than he gets fouled. To me, I think that’s astounding. … It’s been happening to him his whole career.” More:
00:00 - Moody said tonight marked his first game at any level with eight 3-pointers. Said he has an uncle who made eight triples in a game and has long challenged Moody to make eight triples. “He put a curse on me. … I’ll probably give him this jersey or something.” More:
