Curry breaks 300 barrier
Print Edition
AS the records keep piling up for Stephen Curry, he is not ready to pick a favorite.
There’s still too much to accomplish — like that best-ever Bulls’ mark of 72 wins, another title, maybe the MVP again.
Curry scored 41 points and became the first player in NBA history to make 300 3-pointers in a season as the Golden State Warriors set yet another record by holding off the Orlando Magic 119-113 on Monday for their 45th straight home win.
“To have protected our home court 45 straight games in the regular season, it hasn’t been done in history, so that’s a pretty special accomplishment,” Curry said. “That win record is still in reach.”
Curry didn’t match his 51-point performance against the Magic on February 25 in which he hit 10 of 15 3-pointers, but shot 7 for 13 from long range. He has 301 3s, and there’s still 20 games to go.
Golden State surpassed the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 44 straight regular-season home victories and improved to 27-0 at Oracle Arena this season.
The Warriors are still chasing the Bulls’ record 72-win season. Golden State’s home winning streak includes the final 18 games of last season before the franchise’s run to its first championship in 40 years. The Warriors haven’t lost a regular-season game at Oracle Arena since falling to the Bulls in OT on January 27, 2015.
