"It has gone by really fast.. we couldn't have asked for a better pre-All-Star break performance. We still have some room for improvement, believe it or not, but it is really surreal to be 48-4."
Curry said the season so far, is "satisfying."
"We handled a lot of different challenges pretty well this first half of the season."
