After a shocking loss in Philadelphia, the Warriors bounced back with a close win over Indiana Pacers. Stephen Curry led the scoring charts for the Warriors with 26 points as they came from behind to win the game 102-100 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Curry failed to break Ray Allen’s record and needs two three-pointers in the next game to own the record.
Steph Curry had decent stats vs the Pacers, but he had a rough night. He had the opportunity to tie Ray Allen’s all-time record with just 15 secs left on the clock. Curry, however, missed and Looney scored from the rebound to give the Warriors a two-point lead over the Pacers.
Curry shot 5 three-pointers, which puts him one away from leading the all-time three-point stat. Draymond Green has now said that Curry will end but beating Ray Allen’s record by a ‘thousand three-pointers’.
