“Make it out to me”, the boy said, handing Curry a Sharpie pen. “I made a bunch of threes in the third quarter and then finished with that one”.
The Magic suffered their 31 loss in 56 games played and registered the team’s 15 defeat in 30 games played at home this season. Overall, Curry shot a blistering 20-for-27 while furnishing eight assists and seven rebounds.
He has made a 3-pointer in 128 consecutive regular-season games, breaking the record set by the Atlanta Hawks’ Kyle Korver.
“Oh I’m sure, yeah”, Kerr said, according to Fox Sports.
That Golden State team was good and very fun. When I played, they were picking you up when you got the ball inbounds. “With Steph, it’s actually true”.
Thompson had a streak of 15 straight Warriors points in the fourth quarter.
James Harden had 46 points to help the Houston Rockets past the Portland Trail Blazers 119-105, while the Brooklyn Nets were 116-106 winners against the Phoenix Suns in a battle of the strugglers. “The half-court shot is like a three-pointer for everyone else”. “I swear I did”.
“If you’re a basketball fan, you’re a Steph Curry fan”, Wade said. They know that those 73 wins are within their grasp, but there are still enough games ahead for them to get tested on more than a few occasions.
“It’s just ridiculous”, said Aaron Gordon when asked about Curry’s buzzer beater.
After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed his current state of disbelief, saying, “A 3-point shot is like a layup”. Whether you’re shooting well or not, you’re still finding a way to knock down at least one. He also had eight assists and a team-leading seven rebounds.
It’s Curry’s third 50-point game this season. They finished with 21 turnovers, but led by Curry, shot 60 percent from the field. The Magic went up by as much as six before ending the half with 63-59 lead over Golden State. Clint Capela did not come out on the court last night. It’s a record that is nearly certain to be obliterated.
The Magic were led by guard Evan Fournier with 20 points, but he managed just three in the second half when the game was decided.
Forward Draymond Green and centre Andrew Bogut each had 12 points for the Warriors.
The second half was when Curry and the Warriors truly took over. While this may seem like a slim chance now, they will presumably be favored to win every game they play for the rest of the year and, barring injury, will trot out a deep team aligned with role players and superstars that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
At some point, all you can do is watch this season unfold, smile and take a moment to enjoy it. Curry’s expression captured something all the stats and records can’t – a joyous sense of wonder.
