STEPHEN Curry broke the NBA record for most career 3-pointers Tuesday night (Wednesday in Manila) and finished with a team-high 22 points as the visiting Golden State Warriors beat the New York Knicks 105-96.
Curry entered the game needing just two 3-pointers to break Ray Allen’s mark of 2,973 3-pointers and wasted no time making history. He drained two of his first three attempts, including the record-breaker– a 27-footer with 7:33 left in the opening quarter.
Curry finished the game 5 of 14 from beyond the arc as the Warriors won for the fourth time in five games to improve their NBA-best record to 23-5. Jordan Poole scored 19 points while Andrew Wiggins had 18 points for Golden State.
Julius Randle scored 31 points for the Knicks, who have lost four straight and seven of eight. Derrick Rose finished with 15 points and Alec Burks chipped in 14.
In other games, it was the Nets 131, Raptors 129 (OT), and Suns 111, Blazers 107 (OT).
