Steph Curry and Klay Thompson push each other to be amazing.
So it should come as no surprise that Curry wants the three-point record back in his possession in one game.
Thompson, who has not played since the NBA Finals in 2019, currently holds the record with 14 3-pointers against the Chicago Bulls on October 29, 2018.
Curry had a chance at the Warriors’ 147-109 record over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, but with his team in cruise control, the reigning three-point winner did not step back into fourth place on the track . term.
Instead, Curry had to settle for 11 three-pointers in a 42-point performance.
When asked by Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area after the game whether he thinks of Thompson’s record, Curry admits he does.
“Absolutely. I was joking with some of the guys tonight because I remember Chicago and he did it in three quarters and I was like a night like tonight, where I really had it in the third hallway … two things, Curry said during a video conference. ‘One, his quarter of 37 points is still crazy because I had 25 [in the third quarter] tonight and it looked like I was invincible out there and this guy had another 12 points in the same time. So it was crazy itself. And the 14 3s. I had 11 and felt I could not miss it. I think it’s available, but we’ll see. ‘
Curry is in the middle of one of the best pieces of his decorated career. In seven games in April, he scored 39.85 points and made 47 of his 94 3-point attempts (50 percent).
Curry’s career high for three-pointers in a game is 13 against the New Orleans Pelicans on November 7, 2016. This is the sign that Thompson broke two years later. Wednesday’s performance was Curry’s 19th career game with 10 or more 3-points. No one is close at first.
