It was win or go home on Sunday in Sacramento and Stephen Curry decided the Golden State Warriors’ season wasn’t ending yet. Curry made basketball magic with a historic performance in the Warriors’ 120-100 win to propel them into a second-round matchup with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Curry scored a playoff career-high 50 points as he broke the NBA’s Game 7 scoring record of 48 set by Kevin Durant in 2021.
Curry was 20 of 38 from the field and 7 of 18 from the 3-point line. The reigning Finals MVP’s otherworldly performance not only broke an NBA Game 7 record, but also made him the first Warrior to score more than 40 in a Game 7.
