Stephen Curry scored a career-high 62 points as his Golden State Warriors beat the Portland Trailblazers 137-122.
The 32-year-old is the second oldest player to score over 60 points in a game - Kobe Bryant is the oldest at 37.
"I wanted to take him out with 30 seconds left so the 42 people here could give him a standing ovation," said Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.
