Curry made 12 threes in 20 attempts, nearly surpassing his former teammate, Klay Thompson, who made 13 threes. Jimmy Butler ended the night with 27 points.
The Lakers have two consecutive wins, one in Memphis, 134-127, and the other, more recent, at home, where they beat the Houston Rockets, 104-98.
