Stephen Curry Sets Record with 3-Pointer in 128th Straight Game

Holy tapdancing shit, Stephen Curry is not of this world.

The crowd rose to its feet, Curry lifted his arms and struck a pose, chuckling his way to the Golden State Warriors bench. As Kerr is not known for fuming, he has some classic sarcasm courtesy of Fox Sports. “I’m not. It’s just what he does”.

Curry scored 24 points in the third period, including a just-over-half-court three-pointer as the buzzer sounded. The Magic got a team-high 20 points from Evan Fournier. “I’m not. It’s just what he does”.

He is the first player to record three 50-point games in a season since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2008-09.

That wasn’t his only highlight of the night.

The reigning MVP set an National Basketball Association record on Thursday by hitting a three-pointer in his 128 straight game, surpassing Hawks forward Kyle Korver, who hit a three-pointer in 127 consecutive games during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. “I’d be an idiot if I didn’t let him shoot anytime he wants”. He is a pass-first big man at this point, which is where we see him on the court as a fan. “I could have stopped this back in my time”.

It was a special performance all night by Curry, and even though the Magic fought and clawed for much of the night, their best just simply wasn’t enough on Thursday night.

The Warriors. At 52-5, Golden State has the best record in National Basketball Association history after 57 games. Golden State is the far-and-away frontrunner to win the National Basketball Association title again this season, and they might break the “95-’96 Chicago Bulls” regular season record of 73 wins if their pace holds up.

Curry scored 24 in the third quarter.

The guard compiled 51 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, 10 of 15 three-point attempts and 20-of-27 shots overall. Backup point guard Toney Douglas scored 12 points in 14 minutes, with 10 points coming in the fourth quarter. Avery Bradley, a former player for Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma, finished with 18 points for Boston. Congolese Serge Ibaka scored 15 points and blocked two shots for the Thunder.

The Heat, though, held an 83-80 advantage heading into the fourth.

San Antonio overcame a slow start to win 96-78 at Utah and bring up a fourth successive road win.

Center Nikola Vucevic had 17 points and nine rebounds.

Derrick Favors led the Jazz with 25 and Rodney Hood added 12.

The last time Curry went a game without hitting a three-pointer was November 2014.

He’s now only ten shy of the single-season 3-point shot mark he set last season. Aaron Gordon matched his career high with 19….
