Here’s Steph Curry Hitting 128 Threes Over 128 Games In 128 Seconds
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, left, watches his 3-pointer that gave him the record for most consecutive regular-season games with a 3-point basket, during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the…
Curry notched his third 50-point haul of the season as the Warriors remained 3-1/2 games clear in the fight over the NBA’s best record ahead of San Antonio, which won convincingly at Utah.
Curry was the NBA MVP last season after averaging 23.8 points on 49 percent shooting, with a league-record 286 3-pointers. Those Magic fans who spent hundreds of dollars to buy a ticket Thursday knew that Curry was going to play and they knew they were going to be thisclose to greatness. He tricked us so many times.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to National Basketball Association heads, but once again all-star point guard Steph Curry is draining ridiculous shots with the ease of a young Larry Bird.
“And it’s not like he didn’t do anything else”, Skiles added.
Isaiah Thomas scored 27 points, including eight in the fourth quarter, and Boston beat Milwaukee for its ninth straight home victory.
Center Nikola Vucevic had 17 points and nine rebounds for Orlando, who led 63-59 at halftime, but were helpless as the Warriors pulled away in the fourth. Magic guard Evan Fournier asked reporters. After their win in Orlando the Warriors improved to 52-5.
Marreese Speights came off the bench to score 14 points. And he did it on the second night of a back-to-back, following a 42-point explosion vs. the Miami Heat Wednesday night. Even Dick Vitale was there to see firsthand just how awesome, baby, these Warriors really are. Curry’s ability to relax and then quickly attack doomed the Magic.
He got to 51 despite only hitting one free throw as he completed a 3-point play off a circus up-and-under layup. Coach Skiles said that he continued to preach throughout the game, that his players needed to stay between Curry and the basket, but that didnt seem to slow down Steph Curry.
PORTLAND, Ore. – James Harden scored 46 points as Houston rallied from a 21-point, third-quarter deficit to defeat Portland. Robertson said he believes the Warriors’ success stems largely from the modern style of play which forgoes defense, and the latter duo said their respective former teams (2006-07 Warriors, 1993-94 Suns) could have beaten Golden State. Forward Aaron Gordon matched his career high with 19 points and added eight rebounds. Reaching 400 3-pointers isn’t totally out of the question; he should eclipse the record he set a year ago sometime next week. Harrison Barnes scored 11 and Green finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Warriors. Almost 20 points lower than Curry’s percentage from 28 feet.
Miami (32-25) was led by guard Dwyane Wade’s 32 points, his second 30-plus game this season.
