Stephen Curry made history on January 3, 2025, as the Golden State Warriors triumphed over the Philadelphia 76ers with a score of 139-105. Curry, aged 36, achieved a remarkable feat by making all eight of his three-point attempts, finishing the game with 30 points and 10 assists. This performance marked him as the first player in NBA history to go eight-for-eight on three-pointers while also recording double-digit assists in a single game.
Curry's achievement surpassed the previous record of nine-for-nine on three-pointers, set by Latrell Sprewell in 2003 and matched by Ben Gordon and Jalen Brunson in subsequent years. The Warriors improved their season record to 17-16, while the 76ers fell to 13-19. Jonathan Kuminga contributed significantly off the bench with 20 points, while teammates Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Dennis Schroder each added 15 points.
