Steve Kerr hails "scintillating" Stephen Curry

Steve Kerr has described Stephen Curry as "scintillating" after he scored 45 points in the Golden State Warriors' win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

The guard made eight three-pointers from his 17 baskets in the 116-105 victory, which ensured that the Western Conference leaders will finish the regular season with the best record in the league.

The team's coach told ESPN: "There's nothing left to say. Except that he's the MVP. He was, he was just, I don't even know how to describe what I watched tonight.

"Scintillating. Every move, every shot, just amazing skill. I have never seen a player with this skill set."

The 27-year-old has averaged 23.9 points per game for the Warriors this season.
