The Golden State Warriors have earned a triumphant comeback in NBA against New Orleans Pelicans on November 8, 2016. What made this victory even sweeter was the way their MVP point guard, Stephen Curry, garnered a total of 46 points for the entire team.
Together with small forward Kevin Durant and shooting guard Klay Thompson, the Warriors earned a total score of 116, leading ten points in the conclusion of a very tight and competitive game. Stephen Curry gets the limelight by breaking the record for the highest number of 3-points in a single game.
The importance of this victory is underscored by the fact that the Warriors were soundly beaten by Los Angeles Lakers three days earlier. The Mercury News cited how the victorious Curry-Durant-Thompson trio has pulled off a successful offense play.
It was not an easy game given the ten-point margin but that difficulty curve has even added a 'heroic touch' to the Warrior's victory. The Pelicans proved to be a worthy opponent and their young power forward Terrence Jones worked very hard to jam Stephen Curry's notorious long throws.
An article published by New York Times provided a concise tally of Stephen Curry's 3-point throws per game quarter. The MVP point guard openly expressed his delight in an interview saying, "That's a pretty cool record to have. It probably won't last long, the way guys shoot in this league. But to have a 3-point record is pretty special."
Stephen Curry is one of the most promising players in NBA. Although he may not yet stand on equal footing with living legends like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, it is interesting to mention that the latter has placed the Warrior's point guard in high regard. Only time will tell how the next game goes for the Golden State Warriors, given their fluctuating record in the 2016-2017 Season.
