Stephen Curry's game has grown since the beginning of the season.

Curry is now heading into the All-Star break on a high note, recording a triple double against the Los Angeles Clippers by scoring 36 points, dishing out 13 assists, and grabbing 10 rebounds.
It was the first triple double by a rookie for the Warriors since Chris Webber and the first triple double of at least 30 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds by a rookie since Kevin Johnson.

On the season Curry is averaging 14.8 points, 4.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.9 steals on 45.7 percent from the field, 43.4 percent from three, and 87 percent from the free throw line.
