Westbrook landed on Curry’s ankle shortly after the start of the second half, causing the reigning MVP to motion that he needed to come out of the game.
And Curry broke his own record for 3-pointers in a single season with 288, surpassing his 286 total from the 2014-2015 National Basketball Association season with more than a month left before playoffs begin.
“Obviously, going forward, we want to get to 100 percent as quick as possible and not play injured or delay the recovery process at the juncture we’re at in the season”. Golden State won 12…
Already with two games with 11 threes made, two with 10 and four with 9, Stephen Curry added to his historically dominant three point barrage Saturday night notching 12 three pointers on 12-of-16 from downtown. First there was Draymond Green’s locker room tirade at halftime; then Kevin Durant’s boneheaded foul on Andre Iguodala with no time remaining in regulation; then Andre, a 62% free-throw shooter, actually draining those two shots; then overtime; then KD fouling out; then finally all of that action leading to the game’s apogee, a Stephen Curry pull-up to bang (bang!) home the game victor.
Kerr responded: “You guys should ask some of the old-time players, they have a better idea of how to guard Steph than the new coaches do”.

If any team is capable of matching up to the Golden State Warriors, it is the Spurs though.
Answer: Defenses aren’t awful now; the Warriors look so different now because Curry is the advancement.
Former Warriors point guard Baron Davis tweeted: “Big O… that’s enuff… we love u but… u need to order the league pass”. Hawks SG Kyle Korver is averaging 3.7 points in the last three games and is 1-of-10 from 3-point range in that span.2. “We never quit”, Curry said. Curry tied an National Basketball Association record shared by Kobe Bryant (2003) and Donyell Marshall (2005) with his 12th 3-pointer of the game.

“I’m not a great dancer, so I probably lost my mind a little bit”, Curry said, smiling. They don’t know what people are doing on the court. “I think Rondo gives us some leadership, some maturity out there, so when the game gets going the wrong way that we feel maybe more confident to get a stop and/or a better shot”. It’s too often that players of the past will chime in on a team’s/player’s current success, attempting to water down the current success with comparisons to a time when the league was much more demanding.
