Warriors set NBA home record
OAKLAND, Calif. — As all the records keep piling up for Stephen Curry, he is far from ready to pick a favorite.
There’s still too much yet to accomplish — like that best-ever Bulls’ mark of 72 wins, another championship, maybe the MVP again.
Curry scored 41 points and became the first player in NBA history to make 300 3-pointers in a season, and the Golden State Warriors set another record in a season full of them by holding off the Orlando Magic 119-113 Monday night for their 45th straight home victory.
“To have protected our home court 45 straight games in the regular season, it hasn’t been done in history, so that’s a pretty special accomplishment,” Curry said. “That win record is still in reach.”
Curry didn’t match his 51-point performance against the Magic on Feb. 25 in which he hit 10 of 15 3-pointers, but shot 7 for 13 from long range and also pulled down 13 rebounds. He has 301 3s with 20 games to go.
Golden State surpassed the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 44 straight regular-season home victories.
