It is not typically that the NBA’s profession 3-point chief, who’s just about universally acknowledged as the best shooter to ever reside, has a capturing evening that bests something he is ever accomplished. However Stephen Curry managed to do precisely that by hitting all eight of his 3-pointers within the Warriors’ 139-105 victory over the 76ers on Thursday. 

That is the primary time that Curry has made that many 3-pointers at a 100% clip in a single sport, and he’s simply the ninth participant in NBA historical past to take action. Curry joins Sam Perkins, Steve Smith, Michael Finley, Taurean Prince and Jeff Hornacek within the 8-for-8 membership, one shy of the 9-for-9 membership occupied by Jalen Brunson, Latrell Sprewell and Ben Gordon (twice). 

Oh by the best way, Curry is the primary participant in historical past so as to add 10 assists to that whole.

Curry’s earlier excessive for 3-pointers made with out a miss was six, which he has accomplished twice — as soon as towards the Lakers final April and as soon as towards the Nuggets in his rookie season. 

Curry completed with 30 factors on Thursday, however he is absolutely rather a lot happier in regards to the Warriors really profitable a sport as that they had misplaced 13 of their final 17. Philadelphia was at full power, too, with Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid all within the lineup. 

Maybe it will get Curry going as 2025 kicks off. He’s coming off a tough December during which he shot simply 36% from 3 and 40% general after making 45% of his 3s by the primary month of the season. The Warriors definitely want him to proceed with this type as they’ve nowhere else to show offensively. 

On that notice, Jimmy Butler has requested a commerce from the Miami Warmth. Simply saying.
