NBA Highlights: Curry and the Historic 3-Point Shot

Stephen Curry, the figurehead of the Golden State Warriors, wrote a new chapter in his impressive three-point legacy in San Francisco. The exceptional sharpshooter sunk all his eight three-point attempts for the first time in his career within a single game, leading his team with a total of 30 points and 10 assists to an overwhelming 139-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. This historic performance placed him as the first NBA player to score 8 out of 8 from beyond the three-point line while also recording double-digit assists. Teammate Jonathan Kuminga shone off the bench with 20 points, while Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Dennis Schroder each contributed 15 points. The Warriors skillfully capitalized on Philadelphia being in a grueling back-to-back road game. Joel Embiid, returning after a brief absence, still excelled for the 76ers with 28 points and 14 rebounds. The Oklahoma City Thunder celebrated their 13th consecutive win with a 116-98 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, marking the longest winning streak since the franchise moved from Seattle. Led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 29 points, they approached the franchise record of 14 consecutive wins, set by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1995/96 season. LeBron James led the Los Angeles Lakers with 38 points to a 114-106 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers. Max Christie contributed a career-high of 28 points. Despite the absence of Anthony Davis, who sat out due to an ankle injury, the Lakers continued their positive trend. The Indiana Pacers leveraged the strength of Tyrese Haliburton, who shone with 33 points and 15 assists in the game against the Miami Heat, leading his team to a 128-115 win. For the Heat, rookie Kel'el Ware reached his personal best with 25 points. Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum delivered an outstanding performance with 33 points in the tight 118-115 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. His teammate Derrick White supported with 26 points. Minnesota put up a strong fight with Julius Randle's 27 points. In another thrilling head-to-head battle, the Brooklyn Nets triumphed 113-110 over the Milwaukee Bucks, despite a late comeback by the Bucks. Cameron Johnson and Cam Thomas led the team, while the Bucks, not least thanks to Giannis Antetokounmpo's 27 points, fought until the end.
