Stephen Curry showcased his legendary shooting skills, making NBA history as the Golden State Warriors dominated the Philadelphia 76ers with a 139-105 victory in San Francisco.
The 36-year-old Curry delivered a flawless performance from beyond the arc, sinking all eight of his three-point attempts for the first time in his illustrious career. He finished the game with 30 points and 10 assists, becoming the first player in NBA history to go at least eight-for-eight on three-pointers while recording double-digit assists in the same game.
Breaking Records
Curry’s achievement adds another milestone to his storied career. The record for the most consecutive three-pointers made in a game (nine-for-nine) was set in 2003 by Latrell Sprewell and later matched by Ben Gordon (2006, 2012) and Jalen Brunson (2023). Curry’s perfect performance from deep further cements his status as the league’s greatest shooter.
Team Effort Secures Victory
Jonathan Kuminga contributed 20 points off the bench, providing crucial support. Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Dennis Schroder each added 15 points, rounding out a balanced team effort. The Warriors’ win improved their season record to 17-16, while the 76ers fell to 13-19.
