Steph Curry Goes Lights Out In OKC, Ties Kobe Bryant Three-Point Record

Steph Curry had another electric night in an instant classic against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I think it’s official — Steph Curry and company cannot be stopped.

Despite the fact that they faced adversity the whole game and the Thunder seemed to have their number entirely, the Warriors found a way to get a gutsy road win in Oklahoma City.

It took a miracle, especially at the end of regulation, but everything went Golden State’s way that needed to in order for a win to fall into place.

Before getting into what Curry accomplished, what’s also remarkable is the fact that Golden State clinched a playoff spot after the San Antonio Spurs bounced the Houston Rockets earlier in the evening.

It’s only February, in case you needed a reminder.

The team has yet to come crashing back to Earth yet and, if their 53-5 record wasn’t enough, Curry has shown that he doesn’t want anything handed to him — but he has no problem taking your respect with a smile on his face.

Curry came off a 51-point performance the other night before gearing up for a showdown with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook‘s troops.

And although having his human moments, tonight was out of this world, even by Curry’s standards.

Curry dropped 46 points on the Thunder while adding in six assists. His twelve three-pointers on the night also put him on the same level as a familiar face in Kobe Bryant — at least for one night.

Even then, that might not have even been the best part of the night for Golden State’s mad man.

He also managed to set the NBA record for three-pointers made in a season, breaking none other than the record he previously held from just last season.

Kobe Bryant had a shining moment like this in his career, being one of the only other players in NBA history to accomplish what Curry put on display for the world to see.

Here’s a look at the dagger that hurt Oklahoma City that went in with just over half of a second remaining in overtime:

Did that really just happen?

The crazy part is that the answer to that is yes; and he’s not done yet.

Curry has set the mark high enough already for three-pointers made in a season, but there’s still a little more than a quarter of the season left.

So, as you can imagine, when the record is officially set at season’s end, it’ll practically be untouchable.

One final piece to Curry’s magical night was the reaction from major names and faces across the association that reacted to Curry’s performance in the only way the world really knows how to — via Twitter:

The world can only wait and wonder what the Warriors and Curry have in store for us next.

We will all get to see the sequel to tonight’s epic output when the Warriors and Thunder clash again on Thursday night, with that game being played back at Oracle Arena.

Westbrook and Durant did all they could to stop the red-hot Warriors, but if they can’t even stop them — and both guys had decent nights on the floor — then the Western Conference better gear up.
