Led by superstar Stephen Curry, the Warriors defeated the Orlando Magic 126-119 last night to extend their winning streak to seven games.
In doing so, they matched a feat the NBA hasn’t seen in over 75 years.
With this win, the Warriors became the first team since the 1950-51 Boston Celtics to start the year 0-3 and win seven straight games, via Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
Back then, the Celtics had not even entered the legendary Bill Russell era, as the NBA icon only began his career with Boston in 1956.
Curry surpasses LeBron James with historic performance
Against the Magic, Curry led his team with another dominant performance, finishing with 41 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists on 13/19 shooting from the field and 5/10 from three-point range.
With this 41-point performance, he also broke LeBron James’ record for the most 40-point games after turning 35 years old. Curry now has 16 such games, surpassing James, who had 15.
Curry has been sensational so far this season. At 38 years old, he is averaging 31.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 4 rebounds, while shooting 50% from the field, 45% from three, and 99% from the free-throw line.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are currently standing strong in the Western Conference with a 7-3 record after their first 10 games.
