Golden State Warriors News: Stephen Curry Sets Another NBA Record For Three Points

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry made another NBA league record by making the most three-pointers in a game with 13 shots hit during the Warriors’ game with the New Orleans Pelicans, which the former defeated, 116-106. Curry erased the records of Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall who registered 12 three-pointers in 2013 and 2005, respectively.

The two-time reigning MVP’s record-setting shot was achieved less than two minutes before the game ended. Stephen Curry leads the Golden State Warriors with a season high 46-points. Curry had 16-for-26 overall, with five assists and five rebounds.

For Stephen Curry, the game against the Pelicans was “a special night.” It was also a rebound from his dismal shooting performance during the Warriors’ 117-97 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. Curry missed ten threes and ended his 157-game regular-season streak of 3-pointers, which is an NBA record.

In 2015, Stephen Curry made 402 three-points, shattering his 2014 record of 286. Almost a week ago, Curry surpassed Ray Allen’s NBA record as the league’s fastest player to make 1600 three points. He made that record during another game with the Pelicans, which the Warriors trounced, 122-114.
In an interview with reporters, Curry shared that"It was nice to make the first one after last game.” He added that “The last three was very special, with the flow of the game, and it being kinda close. I made one or two tough ones, and the last one was a heat check, just to see if it goes in or not. Thankfully it did.”

Sports Illustrated compiled a list of how Stephen Curry has dominated the NBA’s record books when it comes to shooting from the rainbow country. The Golden State Warriors’ win over the Pelicans has improved its NBA standing to 5-2, with the two losses attributed to the San Antonio Spurs and the Lakers.
