The NBA regular season continues, and the Warriors sit at home today to take on the Nets. They have suffered consecutive defeats and have not been in good form recently. However, Curry found his groove in this game, and he played a phenomenal performance to eventually lead the Warriors to a 124-120 victory over the Nets. At the same time as hitting the bottom**, an unprecedented record in the NBA in 77 years was also achieved by the 35-year-old Curry. It has to be said that the veteran Curry still has the strength of a superstar.
The Nets are a playoff-caliber team, and their backcourt combination exploded today. Dinwiddie made 6-of-13 shooting and contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists. Thomas went on a complete rampage, shooting 15-of-24 from the field and scoring 40 points and 5 rebounds. However, the boss Bridges was not very efficient, scoring only 18 points in 17 attempts. Claxton had a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Johnson and O'Neal also scored in double figures. However, the team was blown up by Curry at the last moment and unfortunately lost the game.
For the Warriors, Dream Green is still suspended, and Wiggins is also pressed to the bench. The rookie of the team went on a rampage today, and Pojamkis got 19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Thompson also continued his touch, chipped in 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Kuminga scored 10 points, Paul off the bench handed over 2 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, Wiggins also got 14 points and 5 rebounds, and Sharic also scored 12 points.
However, the fundamental reason for the team's victory is the performance of the boss Curry. Curry played 35 minutes today, made 22 shots in the game, hit 14 times, including 6 of 8 three-point shots, cut 37 points and 3 rebounds, and also sent 3 blocks, which can be said to be a combination of offense and defense. In the previous two defeats, Curry did not perform well at critical moments, but he found his feeling in the last quarter, shooting 7 of 7 in a single quarter, scoring 16 points with a 100% shooting rate, and also killed the game at critical moments.
Ending the losing streak and winning the game, Curry's performance was amazing. Not only that, but Curry also ushered in a milestone moment in his career today. He shot 6 of 8 three-pointers in a single game, so Curry's career three-point shooting reached 3,505. He also became the only player in the NBA's 77-year history to make 3,500 three-pointers. In fact, in addition to Curry, the second-place Ray Allen also failed to break through the 3,000 mark, and Curry can be said to be the only one.
In other words, Curry has scored 10,515 points in his career just by shooting three-pointers, which is already higher than Yao Ming's career total. This season, Curry is averaging 29 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 47% from the field, and although he is a 35-year-old veteran, he is still one of the best point guards in the league.
