The Warriors beat the Pacers 102-100 on the road today, curry played 35 minutes and shot 8-of-20, including 5-of-15 from three-point range and 5-of-5 from the free throw line, with 26 points, six rebounds and six assists.
While hitting five three-pointers today, Curry is one way off against ray Allen's all-time record, so he'll only be able to complete this historic overtaking in the next game.
It is worth mentioning that since only 15 strokes away from Ray Allen's record, Curry has frantically shot three points, trying to surpass Ray Allen as soon as possible to become the first in history. In the past three games, Curry has made 17, 14 and 15 three-point shots, respectively, adding up to a total of 46 shots, averaging more than 15 shots per game.
Although there were many shots, Curry did not hit many, adding up to only 14 hits, just one point away from Ray Allen's record. In the past three games, although Curry has averaged nearly 5 three-pointers per game, his shooting rate is only 30%, which is out of par. If the shooting percentage is slightly higher, Curry is now the number one in the history of the three-point list.
Curry's three-point shooting rate in the last three games is not high, probably because of the psychological pressure, too eager to break the record as soon as possible. Almost everyone had hoped that Curry would hit 15 three-pointers in one game, breaking both Ray Allen's record and Thompson's record, but after 3 games, Curry still failed to surpass Ray Allen.
However, Curry is now only one three-pointer away from equaling Ray Allen, and two will complete the overtaking, so there is almost no suspense, and the next game will witness the birth of a new historical record. For Curry, after successfully surpassing Ray Allen, he can also lighten up and challenge a new record.
After surpassing Ray Allen, Curry will soon reach the milestone of 3,000 three-pointers, an unprecedented record. In addition to Curry, there are probably very few players who can reach this milestone in the future.
