On December 21, Beijing time, the Warriors defeated the Kings 113-98 at home, avoiding the first consecutive loss in the regular season this season, and Stephen Curry, who was on the sidelines, played his best game in nearly two weeks, surpassing Russell Westbrook in a statistic to become the fifth person in the NBA.
In this game, Curry played 36 minutes, 13 of 27 shots, shooting 48.1%, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, 30 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, is the only player in the game to score 25+ in a single game, +16 plus or minus is the highest in the game, of which in the key fourth quarter Curry shot 6 of 9 shots, including 4 of 3 three-pointers, 15 points in a single quarter and 2 blocks, which is the key to the Warriors to keep the fruits of victory.
For Curry, who has averaged 27.1 points per game this season, 30 points per game is not surprising, but Curry's 48.1% shooting rate in the regular season so far this season is still exciting, especially considering that he has only 1 game in the 10 consecutive regular season games before this game, and his offensive efficiency is even more rare.
This is curry's 224th regular season game in his NBA career so far, what is the concept? In this statistic, Curry officially completed the surpassing of Wei Shao, ranking fifth exclusively among the NBA active players. It is worth mentioning that Wei Shao entered the NBA a year earlier than Curry, and the draft pick is also 3 times higher than Curry, and the two have two "scoring king" titles so far.
It is worth mentioning that among the NBA active players, LeBron James ranked first with 30+ points per game in 484 regular season games, Kevin Durant ranked second in active duty with 30+ points in 327 regular season games, James Harden and Carmelo Anthony ranked third and fourth in this statistic, and the two scored 30+ points in 304 and 272 regular season games, respectively. In NBA history, Michael Jordan ranked first with 30+ points per game in 562 regular season games.
Of course, such data is nothing for Curry, and I hope that he can use this game as an opportunity to regain his touch, build up for the playoffs, and work hard for his first Finals MVP.
