In 16 NBA seasons, there is very little Stephen Curry has not achieved. Yet the Golden State Warriors star still manages to challenge or seize new milestones that continue to affirm his greatness as he nears the end of a legendary career.
Curry scored 52 points and nearly matched his career-high for most 3-pointers made in a game in the Warriors’ 134-125 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. The sharpshooter shot 12-for-20 on his 3-point attempts, tying the second-most he’s hit during a game and finishing just two away from tying former teammate Klay Thompson for the most single-game 3s in NBA history.

The win was especially important for Golden State in its battle with the Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves for playoff seeding. The Warriors tied Memphis at 44-31 with the victory. But with wins over the Grizzlies in three of their four matchups this season, the Warriors hold the tiebreaker for the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference.
