The Golden State Warriors trounced the Chicago Bulls, 119-93, behind another helluva performance from Stephen Curry. Fans inside Chase Center were treated to a historical night as Curry became the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made—regular season and playoffs combined.
The Warriors superstar played head and shoulders above everyone en route to scoring 40 points with nine 3-pointers to boot. It was the 36th game where Curry had at least nine makes from downtown, widening the already-massive gap between him at No. 1 and those at No. 2 in James Harden and Damian Lillard.

Curry is already regarded as the greatest shooter to play in the NBA. But for those in the microscopic population who still doubt the Warriors point guard, this only proves that they are dead wrong. The other half of the Warriors’ Splash Brothers hold several shooting records. In fact, Curry already broke some of his own marks.
This puts basketball fans in a state of awe over Curry’s body of work. At 33 years old, he is not showing signs of slowing down.
The NBA’s second-leading scorer, as of writing, with an average of 28.4 points per game, Curry has guided Golden State to the top of the team standings. The Warriors notched their 11th win in 12 games on Friday night, and they are doing all these without All-Star Klay Thompson.
Thompson is expected to return soon, so the idea of him bolstering an already-powerful squad must be sending chills to the rest of the NBA.
