Stop us if you’ve heard this before.Steph Curry made NBA history.
In the Warriors’ 126-119 overtime win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday at Chase Center, Curry went a perfect 4-for-4 on go-ahead shots during the final two minutes of regulation and the extra period. It’s the first time in the tracking era (start of the 1996-97 NBA season) a player has made at least four field goals without a miss under those circumstances in a single game (h/t @automaticnba/X).
And that’s not even the whole story. Curry also made two free throws in the final minute of regulation, with the first also giving Golden State the lead at the time. Additionally, with 2:21 to go in the fourth quarter, Curry made a layup that tied the game at 100.
So, all in all, that’s six different instances down the stretch when Curry made a shot to either tie the game or take the lead. Steph Curry went 4/4 on shots to take the lead in the final 2 minutes of the 4th Q/OT tonight.
It's the first time in the tracking era that a player has made 4+ such shots on perfect shooting in a single game....
