Stephen Curry just passed Michael Jordan in the record books
Stephen Curry had quite the night Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Golden State Warriors The superstar guard completely disappeared in the game at the Moda Center in Portland, as he exploded for 48 points and passed the NBA legend Michael Jordan for most 40-point games in the league after turning 30 years oldas noted by Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. The The Warrior scoring machine is already gone “His Airiness” is also recently on the second all-time list.
Curry, who will turn 38 in March, was red-hot from his office throughout the game, knocking down a total of 12 3-pointers on 19 attempts from behind the arc. Overall, he shot 16-for-26 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free throw line while adding three rebounds, three steals, two rebounds and a block in 35 minutes of action.
Unfortunately for Curry, even his incredible effort wasn’t enough to give the Warriors a road win, as the Blazers won 136-131.
As good as Curry has been, the Warriors’ defense can’t stop the Blazers’ top guns. Jerami Grant scored 35 points, while Shaddon Sharp scored 35 points. Meanwhile, Danny Avdija scored 26 points. As a team, Portland shot 51 percent from the floor and was 26-for-29 from the foul line.
Still, the loss shouldn’t detract from the night Curry just had. The two-time NBA scoring champion continues to prove that even in his late 30s, he can be as dangerous as ever, especially if he gets into the zone.
Golden State, who lost to the Timberwolves on Friday, has three days off before taking on the Phoenix Suns on the road Thursday as the Dubs look to snap a three-game losing streak.
