Stephen Curry sets new NBA record in Golden State Warriors win
Tuesday 8 March 2016 07:26, UK
Stephen Curry made NBA history on Monday as he became the first player to make 300 three-pointers in a single season.
He hit the landmark as the Golden State Warriors secured a 45th straight home win by beating Orlando Magic 119-113 in Oakland.
That result also allowed the Warriors to pass the run of 44 consecutive home victories set by the Chicago Bulls in the 1995/96 season.
Curry scored 41 points against Magic, with his penultimate three-pointer of seven from 13 attempts completing his third century this campaign.
The 27-year-old could not match his 51-point haul against the same opponents last month, in which he scored 10 three-pointers.
Nevertheless, he stands at 301 now with 20 games of the campaign still remaining and could feasibly pass 400 before it finishes.
Klay Thompson added 27 points for the Warriors, while Aaron Gordon had 20 points and 16 rebounds in his Bay Area homecoming.
