Stephen Curry drains 10 3s to score 49 points in win against Philadelphia 76ers

Stephen Curry

The 3-point king ensured that he played his A game against the Eastern Conference Leaders as he knocked 10 3-poiners and managed to register 49 points to lead his side to a much-required victory. Andrew Wiggins scored 16 points, whereas Kevin Looney had career-best 15 points.  

Stephen Curry displayed he was still the best player on the court. Golden State’s 29-29 record could keep Curry from MVP consideration but the franchise’s career leading scorer, who hit at least 10 3s for the sixth time this season — is still one of the best in the league.

Stephen Curry’s 3 that tied the game at 86-all gave him 11 straight games with 30 or more points, topping Kobe Bryant for the most by any player 33 or older. Curry, who turned 33 last month, also has the longest 30-point game streak by a Warriors player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1964. Curry had his fifth 40-point game in April and topped Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan for most 40-point games in a month by a player 33 or older.

He buried 3s late in the fourth to whisk the Warriors past the top team in the Eastern Conference. Joel Embiid, who scored 28 for the Philadelphia 76ers, threw the ball away late and Andrew Wiggins scored on the other end to put away the game. 

Even for Curry, his recent stretch of sensational shooting ranked among the best of his career. He averaged 43.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists in four games last week.
