Curry finally a record, the Warriors win in New York!

This legendary record had to be broken in a legendary venue. While fans in Philadelphia and Indiana have been hoping for the last few days that Stephen Curry will break the record for successful 3-pointers in NBA history in their hall, it is well at Madison Square Garden in New York that the legend was written. The Golden State point guard had just two long-range shots to match Ray Allen’s record (2973). And he didn’t keep the suspense going for long. After just 5’27 of play, the 33-year-old inherited a pass from Andrew Wiggins and scored from a distance, slightly to the right. The game was discontinued to celebrate the event, as his parents, former record holder Reggie Miller, and Ray Allen watched.

The former Milwaukee, Seattle, Boston and Miami full-back took 18 years to reach the total of 2,973 shots, Stephen Curry will have taken thirteen years to reach 2,977, and the one who has revolutionized the game in recent years and who turns 3, 8 successful three-point baskets per game since the start of his career, risks setting the bar very high by his retirement. As for the game itself, New York gave Golden State a hard time (48-47, mt) and led until the middle of the third quarter. But the Warriors, as often, accelerated late in the game and ultimately did not tremble, in the wake of a Curry at 22 points and a Jordan Poole at 19. Opposite, Julius Randle finished with 31 points and Evan Fournier only 2.
