Throughout his career of impressive 3-point achievements, Stephen Curry had never failed to connect on more than six triples without a miss.
Until Thursday.
While racking up 30 points, six rebounds and 10 assists in the Warriors’ 139-105 rout of the 76ers, Curry shot a perfect 8-for-8 from long range.
That made him the first player in NBA history to record 30-plus points, 10-plus assists and 8-plus 3PM while shooting 100% from deep in a game, as well as the first player to record 10-plus assists in that scenario.
Curry had 24 points by halftime after going 6 of 6 from 3-point range. He made consecutive 3-pointers early in the fourth to put the Warriors up by 30 and left the game as both coaches emptied their benches minutes later.
Thursday’s tally marked Curry’s sixth 30+ point game of the season, and the 296th of his career.
