"This was a special night.", said Stephen Curry after beating New Orleans Pelicans at home, Monday night. Indeed, it was a special night for the Golden State Warriors after coming from a road game loss to the Los Angeles Lakers last Friday. But it was even more special for the two-time reigning MVP for setting another NBA record under his belt.
The game seems magical, as Stephen Curry led the Dubs to beat the Anthony Davis led Pelicans 116-106 at the Oracle Arena. According to the NBA box report of the game, Curry finished 46 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Magical? Because Steph was in a 13-17 shooting beyond the three-point arc. What makes this feat, even more was enchanting is the fact that the prized Dubs guard did not even made a single trey against their game with the Lakers. He was on 0 - 10 3pt shooting and sadly that ended his league record streak of 157 games with at least 0ne 3-pointer.
"I was hard on myself in practice the last two days. I had pretty good shooting sessions. I don't overreact to games like that whether I go 0 for 10 or 2 for 12 or whatever it is. My process is the same, but I had another level of focus the last two days trying to get my rhythm back and see the ball go in." said Steph.
Stephen Curry's performance is his seventh career game with double-digit 3s. The new NBA record was set with less three minutes to go in the game. The Daily Mail UK cites Stephen Curry's achievement is shared with Kobe Bryant (12 - January 7, 2003) and Donyell Marshall (12 - March 13, 2005).
"That was quite a show. Not at all surprising the way Steph bounces back from bad nights," Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. Klay Thompson filled the stat sheets with 24 points, 4 boards, 1assist and 3 steals while Kevin Durant added 22 points 3 rebounds and 5 plays for the Warriors win. Anthony Davis again played big for his team with 33 points, 13 boards and 2 assist. The Pelicans has yet to win a game.
