Stephen Curry etched his name further into the NBA history books on Saturday night, dropping 41 points as the Golden State Warriors defeated the Orlando Magic 126-119 in overtime.
History Rewritten After 35
We just witnessed history, plain and simple. Curry’s 41-point explosion wasn’t just another huge game. It was his 16th time hitting at least 40 points since he turned 35 years old. Think about that for a second. That monster performance officially pushed him past LeBron James for the most 40-point games by any player over 35. This guy doesn’t just play, he rewrites the record books as he goes.
The Numbers Behind the Masterpiece
What a night for the Chef! He finished with 41 points, yeah, but he also tacked on six boards and six assists in just 36 minutes on the floor. His shot was absolutely dialed in, going 13-of-19 from the field. And from deep? Five-of-ten. Plus, he was money from the charity stripe, hitting all ten of his free throw attempts. That’s a performance you just have to respect, especially when the game goes to overtime and you need your superstar to deliver.
Curry continues to defy Father Time, showing the league he’s still got elite game at an age when many start to slow down. Keep your eyes peeled, because if he keeps playing like this, who knows what other records are on the chopping block.
