Stephen Curry added another feather to his cap in the Golden State Warriors' 119-114 road win against the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday night. 

The 12-time All-Star erupted for 44 points to lead the Warriors to their second straight victory — joining LeBron James atop the list of players with the most 40-point games (15) after turning 35. 

"It's a blessing," Curry said when told about the feat. "I got reminded today how fortunate I am to still be playing this game at the level I expect. 

"When you have nights like these, where your body is feeling good, the ball starts to go in; all the joy comes back... Longevity is something that I'm trying to pride myself on, and it's going well right now." 

Things were looking doomy and gloomy for the Warriors after their 0-3 start to the campaign. However, they have since steadied the ship with consecutive wins, largely thanks to the Curry-Yaxel Lendeborg combo. 

The duo combined for 70 points in Minnesota, with Lendeborg adding 26 and nine rebounds — finishing with a +2 plus-minus despite committing seven turnovers. 

Curry set the tone from the tip, pouring in 23 points in the first half — including 19 in the second quarter. He drilled five of his six triples in the frame (6-for-16 3PT) and shot 11-for-27 from the field on the night. 

The two-time MVP switched things up after the interval, putting the Timberwolves to the sword at the free-throw line (16-for-16). Curry added eight rebounds, six assists, and two steals to his timeless tally. 

Performances like this are when it would be fitting to say that Curry turned back the clock. However, he has yet to drop down from the elite level in Year 18. 

This may have been his breakout display of the season, but there are no signs that suggest he is going to slow down anytime soon, much to the Warriors' delight. 

Head coach Steve Kerr said that it was part of the plan to let Curry loose early against the Wolves, with the Warriors designing their game plan around getting him free. It resulted in a 64-48 halftime lead that Golden State successfully protected after the break. 

The Warriors are going to be tough to beat on nights when Curry and Lendeborg both have it going. 

However, against the NBA's best, they will need more help from the others — especially because of all the injuries they are dealing with. 

The Timberwolves were without perennial All-Star Anthony Edwards (knee) on Wednesday, and the Warriors benefited from that while holding off the hosts' comeback attempt late in the fourth quarter. 

Minnesota had four players with 17 or more points, but nobody could match Curry's output. That's Edwards' job. Former Warrior Jonathan Kuminga led the Wolves with 20 points.  

On the Warriors' side, Brandon Williams was the only other player in double figures with 11 points off the bench. Otherwise, nobody else had more than eight points, and that could be a problem when facing more firepower. 

Now sitting at 2-3, the Warriors won't have to wait long to test that theory, as their upcoming five-game homestand begins when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
