Curry continues is incredible form scoring an NBA-season-high 50 points in Golden State recent victory.
Warriors star guard Stephen Curry continues is incredible form scoring an NBA-season-high 50 points in Golden State’s 127-113 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.
Curry finished the night 14-for-28 from the field, 9-for-19 from 3-point range and 13-for-13 from the free throw line, while chipping in 10 assists and seven rebounds in 35 minutes.
Curry started the night on a personal 10-0 run and just kept rolling, hitting shots from all over the floor as the Chase Center crowd repeatedly serenaded him with “MVP!” chants.
It was the 10th 50-point game of Curry’s career, and he became the third Warriors player in franchise history to put up a line of 50 points and 10 assists, joining Wilt Chamberlain (Feb. 13, 1963) and Rick Barry (Feb. 23, 1974).
The 33 years old has also passed Chamberlain (31) as the oldest player in NBA history to post a 50-10 game. He now has four 50-point games at age 32 or older, second most in NBA history behind Michael Jordan (5).
After Curry knocked down his final basket of the night, running 16-foot floater with 3 minutes, 59 seconds left in regulation, he checked out moments later to a standing ovation from fans while receiving high-fives up and down the bench.
With the win, the Warriors improved to a league-best 9-1.
