STEPHEN CURRY’S record-setting month of April rolled Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings, as he hit seven 3-pointers in a 117-113 Golden State Warriors victory to set a new NBA record for most 3-pointers in a calendar month with 85. The previous record was held by the Brooklyn Nets’ James Harden, who hit 82 in November 2019 while a member of the Houston Rockets. “Obviously when I’m out there I definitely feel like I’m the best shooter in the world,” Curry said when asked if he’s not the best, who possibly could be. “But it still means I still got to put the work in.” Kelly Oubre Jr.’s jumper with 1:42 left put Golden State ahead 112-111 before Richaun Holmes missed a pair of free throws at the 1:25 mark, then Draymond Green scored moments later. Curry shot 11 of 21 with seven more 3-pointers after the two-time MVP rolled his right ankle during Friday’s win against Denver but didn’t consider it serious or seem hobbled. His April total surpassed James Harden’s NBA record of 82 in November 2019. Green had 14 rebounds and 13 assists in the Warriors’ fourth straight home win. That matches the team’s longest winning streak of the season at Chase Center, where Golden State drew 3,252 fans — up from 1,935 Friday in the first game fans returned.(SD-Agencies) |
