Curry Goes Off In OKC In Wild Shooting Performance
Before the 2015-16 season the Golden State Warriors felt like they were being overlooked and disrespected despite winning the NBA title the previous season.
Add then reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry into that group of players pissed off about a perceived lack of respect and you have a team motivated to do something special coming into the season.
Historically special. The Golden State Warriors broke the 96′ Bulls all-time wins record of 72 after they finished the season 73-9.
In their quest to break MJ’s Bulls 72-10 mark, the Golden State Warriors faced difficult test like the one on February 27th, 2016 vs Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
On that night the Oklahoma City Thunder welcomed the 52-5 Golden State Warriors to Chesapeake Energy Arena playing with an extra fire to them as they sized up a Golden State team finishing off a seven-game road trip.
We’ve seen many ridiculous games out of Stephen Curry, but if we looked back on his NBA career, this may go down as his most memorable to date.
Take a look below.
In a out of this world shooting display, Curry finished the game 14-for-24 (12-for-16 3PT) for 46 points as the Warriors pulled off a wild come from behind victory in Oklahoma City to increase their winning streak to five games.
In this game Stephen Curry tied Donyell Marshall’s NBA-record with his 12 3-pointers from beyond the arc, a feat he would in the next season conquer with 13 3-pointers vs the New Orleans Pelicans.
There are no shortage of iconic moments in the career of Stephen Curry, but I rank this as his greatest. It highlighted just how unstoppable and unbelievable this one player can become when he sees the ball go in.
Pulling up from 35-feet from 3-point range to win a game in overtime? Only Steph Curry has license to do that, and why wouldn’t?
