Steve Kerr talks about Stephen Curry:

Curry wishes to become the leader in 3 pointers while playing a home game at the Chase Center. Golden State host the Portland Trail Blazers at home next, after which they leave for a consecutive 5 away games. This means that Curry would need to hit 16 ‘3 pointers’ in one game if he wishes to make his wish come true.
