Stephen Curry scores 46 points with record 12- 3 pointers

To weigh in about that shot, let’s go back to February 27, 2016, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. It’s 4th quarter, Warriors are trailing by nine with less than 3.40 minutes to go. Enter clutch Stephen Curry and that great defense from Warrior. Match gets tie at 103-103. Overtime kicks in. Stephen Curry rises to the occasion with five minutes added to the clock. He dishes out two back to back 3s and then proceeds to break his season record of 3 pointers (which is still a record: 402). But the opposition duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are also in no mood to give up the match.

The clock is at 29.5 seconds with the game again tie at 118-118 due to Klay Thompson. Curry gets the ball from OKC’s Russell Westbrook with merely 6 seconds remaining on the clock. He drills a 37-foot pull-up triple in transition to lift Golden State Warriors to victory.
