Curry sets new 3-point record
He might finish with 400 threes-made if this continues. If you don’t believe me, just ask everybody else at his size who tried to guard the guy back in the day.
With Curry, everything is possible.
The Warriors improved to 52-5 this season. Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) reacts after sinking a 3-pointer to get the record for most consecutive regular-season games with a 3-point basket, during the first half of an NBA basketball game against th…
According to ESPN, Oscar Robertson stated, “I just don’t think coaches today in basketball understand the game of basketball”, Robertson said. “It’s what he does”, Golden State coach Steve Kerr said.
“And then you go with K.J…. With Steph, it’s actually true”. Curry is a baby-faced assassin who destroys the opposition with a smile on his face. 24 points in a quarter? He is just ten shots away from the record he set past year. “I swear I did”. Ceballos said Barkley would have his way with Draymond Green. Words can not describe how easy this dude makes the three-point shot look, and at this rate, defenders will have to start defending him at half court. This season has proven that the to beat the Warriors, you will have to beat them at their own game: athleticism and sharpshooting.
It also was his 128th consecutive game with at least one three-point basket, setting an National Basketball Association record. Over the last three games combined, they have attempted 98 free throws.
Curry was 20-for-27 from the field, including 10-for-15 from 3-point range.
That overcame the powerhouse duo of guard Russell Westbrook, who scored a game-high 44 points, and forward Kevin Durant, who added 32 points and 14 rebounds.
Center Dwight Howard scored 19 points and pulled down 13 rebounds for the Rockets, who won for just the fourth time in 11 games and snapped Portland’s six-game winning streak.
Ryan Anderson scored 26 points in a little less than 26 minutes off the bench, while Jrue Holiday added 22 points, also in fewer than 26 minutes. And in the fourth, he added another shot from long distance for good measure. It’s a record that is nearly certain to be obliterated.
Consider the following clip, from the Warriors’ November victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Reserve Marreese Speights scored 14 points for Golden State, including eight in the fourth period.
And while there’s no shortage of star power on the reigning champions’ roster, Curry is the unquestioned leader.
Curry entered Thursday night with 266 3s and is on pace to break the single-season mark he set past year.
“Steph has unlimited confidence”, Kerr said. The world is ever changing and you can’t expect things to stay the same.
