On Sunday night in Portland, Steph Curry rewrote the NBA’s history books with a fiery 48-point performance.
The Golden State Warriors’ star point guard caught fire on Sunday night, scoring a game-high 48 points against the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry finished the game with 49 points on 16-of-29 shooting from the field and a season-high 12 made 3-pointers to go along with three boards and two assists in 35 minutes.
Despite Golden State’s loss to Portland, Curry’s performance on Sunday will be etched in history. Curry passed NBA legend Michael Jordan with the most 40-point games for a player after turning 30 years old. Sunday marked Curry’s 45th game with 40 or more points since turning 30 years old. Curry has now scored 40 or more points 75 times in his illustrious career.
Curry passed Jordan, who had 44 games with 40 or more points after 30. Damian Lillard is third on the list with 31, with both Kobe Bryant and James Harden tied at fourth with 30 each.
The 37-year-old guard has now tallied 40 or more points four times this season, with 49 points being his season high. Over his last six games, Curry has notched 30 or more points in five games. Over that span, he is averaging 34 points per game on 52.6% from the field and 45.7% from deep.
Curry will have the chance to build on his red-hot streak on Thursday when the Warriors meet the Suns in the desert.
