Stephen Curry walked onto the Oracle Arena floor Wednesday night for Game 3 as a lone gunslinger trying to defend his territory from the invading Raptors. Each time it appeared Toronto had overwhelmed the Warriors, Curry would fire back to keep Golden State within reach.It was a valiant effort by Curry, who finished with a playoff career-high47 points (14-of-31 shooting from the field, 6 of 14 from 3-point range), plus a team-high eight rebounds and seven a sists. He scored or a sisted on Tiago Splitter Jersey nine of the Warriors' first 10 buckets and never let up from there in 43 incredible minutes.MORE: Butthe Raptors showed Golden State that it isn't immune to the"Strength in Numbers" treatment. Thecavalry never came for Curry, and Toronto captured a 2-1 series lead with a 123-109 victory.With Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney all out andDeMarcus Cousins Julius Erving Jersey clearly not at 100 percent, Curry found himself in the unfamiliar position of a star without support. He performed admirably, but there is a reason a guy like Kemba Walker hits the same ceiling every year.No one can do it alone.Game 3 statsCurryRest of WarriorsPoints4762FG-FGA14-31 (45.2%)22-60 (36.6%)3PT FG-3PT FGA6-14 (42.9%)6-22 (27.3%)FT-FTA13-14 (92.9%)12-16 (75.0%)A sists718Turnovers311The Raptors, meanwhile, had each member of their starting five score at least 17 points, including a team-high 30 points from Charles Barkley Jersey Kawhi Leonard.

A sisting on more than 70 percent of their field goals?Pick a random Warriors box scorefrom 2014 through this season, and those numbers might pop up. Game 3 was about the Raptors flipping the "Strength in Numbers" formula back on Golden State and wearing down the Warriors in Timothe Luwawu Jersey a game Toronto couldn't afford to lose.On this night, Curry was in Walker's shoes. He was LeBron James in the 2015 NBA Finals, except instead of Matthew Dellavedova and Iman Shumpert, Curry had Quinn Cook and Shaun Livingston.It's fun to watch the gunslinger go it alone. The Raptors weren't handed this win Curry made them earn it.Unfortunately for the Warriors, "Strength in Numbers" worked against them this time. The gunslinger story only ends one way.
