Warriors Star Pairs with Stephen Curry for Insane Record That Splash Brothers, MJ-Pippen and Other Duos Couldn?t Touch

The formula behind the dynastic success of the Golden State Warriors in the past decade has been the simple realization that threes are worth more than twos. Consequently, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson dominated the league based on that philosophy. However, it’s difficult to imagine any Warriors record involving 3-pointers not being held by the Splash Brothers. But in last night’s game, the unimaginable happened.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Houston Rockets at home last night. Curry and Co, without much struggle, took care of business against the Rockets. The Texas team currently stands at the bottom of the Western Conference. However, last night’s game was a field day for the analysts. The game witnessed historic mean inversions from both sides resulting in a new record for the Warriors.

Stephen Curry sets a new three-point record with Andrew Wiggins

The Splash brothers, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson form a lethal backcourt. Moreover, the two hold the majority of three-point records in the Warriors’ history. However, last night Curry set a new record without Thompson. The 4x NBA champion found a surprising partner in Andrew Wiggins to write history.

Curry and Wiggins became the third set of teammates ever to hit at least eight threes each in a game. They joined Zack Lavine and Coby White, Donovon Mitchel, and Kevin Love as the only teammates to do so. However, it is surprising that Curry and Thompson had never achieved the feat before. And even duos like MJ-Pippen couldn’t come close to achieving such a feat.

Besides Curry and Wiggins, the entire Warriors squad had a stellar showing behind the arc.

Stellar showing from the Warriors
