VIDEO: Steph Curry's dribble-drive causes Wizards collision

Guarding reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry requires a great deal of hope and prayer.

The Washington Wizards couldn't stop Curry's offensive onslaught in the first half on Wednesday night, giving up 36 points to "The Chef."

Two of those points came on a sweet drive to the basket, with Curry going behind his back to beat Otto Porter.

Garrett Temple would have had a better shot at impeding his progress had he not run face-first into Marcin Gortat's back.
