Roaring thirties! At 37, Stephen Curry continues to write his legend and collect performances. The Golden State sniper demonstrated this again, on the night of Sunday to Monday, during the NBA match, the North American basketball championship, against Portland.
If he could not prevent the defeat of the Warriors (136-131), Curry produced a new master class. Two days after scoring 39 points in the loss against Minnesota (120-127), the tightrope walker did even better by reaching the 48-point mark thanks to a diabolical long-distance skill with 12 successful three-point baskets.
A performance that allows him to mark the history of the NBA a little more. This is in fact the 45th time that the executioner of the Blues in the final of the Paris Olympic Games in 2024 has exceeded the symbolic bar of 40 points since he celebrated his 30th birthday. He seizes the record of the genre and therefore erases from the history books Michael Jordan who had compiled 44 games with more than 40 points after the age of thirty.
The four-time NBA champion also strengthens his status as the best three-point shooter with a fifth career game with 12 long-range baskets made. Obviously a record in NBA history. He is notably ahead of his former partner and “Splash Brothers” partner Klay Thompson (three times).
