With the 72 points scored by the "Splash Brothers" and Kuminga three players in an efficient combination, the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Washington Wizards at home, won a wave of four consecutive wins, and the record has tied with the Phoenix Suns, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who are ninth in the West, are only 05 wins difference.
Curry suddenly broke out in the third quarter, hitting consecutive three-pointers, shooting 9 of 18 in less than 27 minutes, and efficiently cut 30 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, including 8 of 13 three-pointers, and 8 three-pointers also set a new high for his single-game three-point goals this season, and he finally clocked out in the third quarter.
It is worth mentioning that this is the fourth game of the season in which the Warriors have won by more than 10 points, the other three games against the Rockets, Pelicans and Pistons. At the same time, the Warriors widened the gap to more than 20 points in only three quarters of the game, and finally won a big victory, which was also the first time that the team needed to play the game to the critical moment to decide the winner in 14 consecutive games.
Speaking of Curry's hot hand outside the three-point line in this game, we have to mention the NBA regular season all-time record for the number of three-pointers shot in a single season, which is Curry's record of 402 three-pointers in a single season set in the 2015-2016 season, which has been held for 7 years, which shows how difficult it is to break this record. Not only that, Curry alone has 4 of the top five three-point shooting records in a single season in the regular season, except for the second place is Harden's 378 in the 2018-2019 season, and the third to fifth places are Curry's 354 in the 2018-2019 season, 337 in the 2020-2021 season and 324 in the 2016-2017 season.
Curry hit 8 three-pointers in this game, and the number of three-pointers hit this season came to 129, continuing to rank first in the league, and the average number of three-pointers per game returned to 5, which was also the highest in the league, and also filled the void left by the previous game with the Trail Blazers 8-of-0 three-pointers. Based on Curry's average of 5 three-pointers per game this season, he will hit 399 three-pointers in the next 54 regular season games, which will exceed Harden's 2018-2019 three-point record of 378, and only 3 from his own single-season three-point record of 402 in the regular season.
In fact, Curry's hand outside the three-point line is still quite good this season, averaging a league-high 11Seven three-point shots, still able to maintain 424% hit rate. And the shooting consistency is also quite good, Curry has played in 26 games this season, except for the game against the Trail Blazers and missed all 8 three-point shots, the remaining 25 games have three-point shots, including 16 games with more than 5 three-point shots.
Of course, team record is always more important than personal data, and the Warriors can only stand out in the West if they solve the problem of Wiggins' sluggish form and Klay's ups and downs this season, give the "Dega combination" more playing time and tactical position, and tap the potential of the two rookie players, of course, the first problem at the moment is to secure a playoff spot, after all, the current 11th place in the West is still a bit stretched. And we believe that Curry will try to challenge his own record again on the premise of ensuring the team's record, and let's wait and see the next games.
