Steph Curry Dropped Nine Threes As The Warriors And Pelicans Set A Record For Made Threes In A Game

There was something in the air around the NBA on Wednesday night. And that something was three-pointers. A quartet of teams combined to shatter three separate league records, with the Rockets and Nets coming together to hoist an astounding 106 three-point attempts in Houston during the early game, while the Warriors and Pelicans broke the record for three-pointers made with 43 total.

In that latter contest, it was Steph Curry who caught fire for Golden State, as he drilled nine three-pointers of his own en route to 41 points for the night in a 147-140 victory over New Orleans.

Seven of those came in a third-quarter flurry when the two-time MVP treated us to one of his signature scoring outbursts, putting up 23 in the quarter to lead a huge rally back from a 17-point deficit to tie it up heading into the final period. If that wasn’t good enough, he hit us with the Jordan shrug to top it all off.

All told, the Warriors were responsible for 24 of those threes, with Kevin Durant going 5-of-10 from downtown for 30 points on the night, and Klay Thompson hitting four of his eight attempts. But it was ultimately Draymond Green (4-of-7) who had the honor of sinking the record-breaking 42nd three of the game with a swish-bomb in the corner with about a minute and a half remaining.

They spoiled a big night from Anthony Davis, who finished with 30 points, 18 rebounds, and seven assists, but who had to watch the final buzzer from the sideline after taking a hard hit to the groin area late in the fourth quarter.
