Stephen Curry shattered history in the Warriors' victory over the Nets, setting a new record for the most 3-pointers made in NBA history with his 3,500th three-ball. This milestone came a year after he had previously established the league record. Smithing Ray Allen's retired total of 3,452, Curry highlighted his prowess in the fourth quarter, scoring 16 of his 37 points to bolster the Warriors' win and enhance their season record to 11-14.
In a press conference following the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed his admiration for Curry's incredible skillset, remarking that "it's mind-boggling what he's capable of." Before seizing the spotlight for his record-breaking three, Klay Thompson moved up to 9th place on the all-time three-point list. However, Cam Thomas' 41-point performance awakened the Nets, taking the lead into the final act.
In awe of the task before him, Curry rose to the challenge, draining a dozen consecutive threes in the fourth quarter. Acknowledging his contagious aggression, Curry advised reporters that "it's just about staying aggressive and filling the gaps." As the fourth quarter unfolded, the two-time MVP locked onto every opportunity to extend his streak, showcasing his legendary range and precision from beyond the arc.
The Warriors' win marked an end to their three-match skid, thereby improving their home record to a solid 5-1. In their upcoming engagements, they face the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, while the Nets tangle with the Utah Jazz on Monday.
