Stephen Curry 46 points vs Grizzlies (Full Highlights) (04/13/16) 73 Wins!

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors took their last shot at Michael Jordan and history and they swished it - for 73.
Down to their final chance at the record, the Warriors became the first 73-win team Wednesday night by beating the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104, breaking what many considered an unmatchable mark set 20 years ago by Jordan's Chicago Bulls - oh, and Golden State coach Steve Kerr, too.
Curry achieved yet one more shooting milestone, becoming the first player to make 400 3-pointers in a season by knocking down 10 from long range on the way to 46 points and 402 total 3s. Golden State saved one last record for the closing day of the regular season, and did it for a roaring, sellout home crowd at Oracle Arena. Yet these Warriors want nothing more than to build off their remarkable run so far and ride it to another title.
"Who knows how far we can take this thing?" Curry said.
The Bulls won the title in 1996 - and Jordan mentioned the playoffs in a congratulatory statement.
"I want to congratulate the Warriors on their amazing season," Jordan said. "The game of basketball is always evolving and records are made to be broken. The Warriors have been a lot of fun to watch and I look forward to seeing what they do in the playoffs."
Draymond Green had 11 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as defending champion Golden State (73-9) topped the Jordan-led 1995-96 Bulls who went 72-10.
When the final buzzer sounded, Green bounded onto the floor and grabbed the game ball as confetti streamed down and "73 WINS" appeared on the scoreboard.
"It means I'm part of the best team ever," Green said later, still palming the game ball. "Not many people can say that - 15 guys can say that, and that's amazing."
President Barack Obama sent a tweet that said: "Congrats to the (at)warriors, a great group of guys on and off the court. If somebody had to break the Bulls' record, I'm glad it's them."
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver also offered his regards on the record.
The Warriors went for it, all right. They absolutely wanted this record, even when they could have been resting up for the next challenge: to repeat. And Curry? No doubt about it. He came out and did what he has all along during this sensational season: Let it fly from anywhere on the floor.
Curry had seven 3-pointers by halftime, then hit No. 400 just 43 seconds into the third.
Already the first player to make 300 3-pointers in a season, he knocked down six in the first quarter and three straight during one jaw-dropping stretch that included a 31-footer well behind the top of the arc. And Curry immediately began trending on Twitter.
"At a certain point, about eight minutes in the first quarter, I was able to toe the line a couple times, knock it down and things started to flow," Curry said. "I was searching for it at that point because I made a couple. Kind of let it come to me and then have some fun with it."
Curry shattered his own single-season record of 286 from a year ago. When he hit his 400th, the reigning MVP raised his arms and patted his chest in celebration.
He made 10 of 19 3-pointers and shot 15 for 24 overall to go with six assists as fans chanted "M-V-P! M-V-P!" all evening. Klay Thompson added 16 points with four 3s of his own before Curry rested the fourth quarter and Thompson most of it.
For all of those so-called experts who doubted the Warriors' first championship in 40 years last June that didn't go through San Antonio, this season might have changed their tune.
Golden State not only won nearly every night with a cool swagger and new focus on the offensive end but with a determination to be far better than during that special season.
The Warriors whipped the Grizzlies 119-69 at home back on Nov. 2, with the 50-point win the third-largest margin of victory in franchise history.
Kerr missed his team's 24-0 start and the first 43 games overall - Luke Walton led the Warriors to a 39-4 record in Kerr's absence - while dealing with complications following two back surgeries.
The Warriors had their NBA-record 54-game home winning streak in the regular season snapped in an April 1 loss to Boston at Oracle. Golden State finished 39-2 at home for the second straight year.
to end the season.
TIP-INS
Warriors: Curry is the first guard since Jordan in 1991-92 to average 30 points and shoot 50 percent from the floor. ... Curry had double-digit 3s for the sixth time in his career and fourth this season. ... Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson (276) finished with 678 combined 3s. ... Golden State had its 175th consecutive sellout, matching the second-highest total attendance in franchise history at 803,436.
UP NEXT
Grizzlies: Visit San Antonio to start the playoffs.
Warriors: Host Houston on Saturday to open the first round of the playoffs.

Amazing... Coming from a bulls fan and a guy who saw the 72-10 team. This is epic no doubt

Guys.. just accept it. Stop trying to derail the accomplishment. Of course they aren't better than bulls, or he isn't better than Jordan.. but the fact is.. they are 73-9! Accept the greatness!

[@mohammadghairat2889]

That's Bulls loss in 2016 only happened because curry was injured.. Look now

[@tim_cleezy]

They whoop the bulls ass

[@tim_cleezy]

If curry didnt get injured vs rockets warriors will run around against every team after that knee injury he has been different he has never been the same thats why they lost against the cavs and draymond was suspended even though lechoke was the one who has been becuase he walk oover draymond and bogut got injured if it was a clean no suspension or injury in the finals it would have benn easily a 4-1

[@takerfan4ever]

@@tim_cleezy no not 2016.. but I do think the 2017 warriors destroys the bulls, and quite frankly, any team in history.

[@takerfan4ever]

@@tim_cleezy I guess 2016 is debatable, regardless, it came down to game 7 in gsw house. Thompson performed well and green was outstanding, curry was pretty pathetic.. and that's being nice. When u have game 7 lbj.. you need the whole army performing. It was a fun series nonetheless... I'm no warriors fan in the slightest, but 2017 warriors should be recognized as the greatest team of all time. They should've swept the entire playoffs.. the Jordan bulls hype is ludicrous at times.. no way they beat this warriors team

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

So I watched Kobe and Curry's games. Kobe got fed his 60 points and almost lost the Lakers their game. It looked contrived and forced. But it was a win and Kobe is undoubtedly an excellent player. Curry on the other hand seemed in his element, with smooth transitions like the game came to him and his team. Almost otherworldly. It rained down points from everywhere like he just couldn't miss. A new Era of basketball greatness has begun. Usher in the new GOAT 3.0 ...

[@ohmyassoff1087]

Greatness lmao can't even put together a solid finals performance

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

Good point. I concede. And a bit disappointed too

[@trialmop]

A improved version of the current steph curry will come. Think about what all he has done now and imagine it on a even higher level.

[@varshneyabhay]

tbh i didn't even watch curry's performance. it was just oakland that watched the game. the rest of the world watched kobe's last game. all i know is curry choked in the finals. calling him goat is a joke. you clearly don't know basketball.

[@urmenior]

Lol I'd like to see any player pushing 40 after career-ending injuries drop 60 in a "contrived and forced way" and hit those clutch shots that he did in those final minutes even though he wasn't playing a lot of minutes last season so he was tired as hell. Had Curry hit only a couple of those in game 7 of the finals or fed his teammates as the PG of the team, they would be champions now, but GSW didn't even score in last 4 and a half minutes. Take 28 year-old Kobe, put him into the worst team and give him the chance for the last 4 and a half minutes of a tied game 7, home or away doesn't matter, a minimum of 6-7 points is guaranteed. And yep, he'll "force" it.

[@jeremiahbeck7440]

And people hate Steph curry why? Because he's so great this is absolutely amazing to see this. We as Warriors fans are spoiled and even the whole league is spoiled to see such greatness this was a truly historic season for the whole league and not just for the Warriors for the entire NBA and people get angry and won't admit the greatness that is in this league people are so stupid

y can't u Just admire the greatness, if this was another guard with 30ppg I'm sure everyone would be admiring him but people just hate curry cz he had become better than their favorite players and are afraid that he might catch the achievement and even break their records

[@mr3pointshooter1]

1:24 how long were the Grizzlies stuck at 16 😂😂 3 straight three's for 9 straight points 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Colinkrauss1]

How long were they stuck at 16? I don’t know, like 3 minutes? Teams get stuck at a score for 3 minutes every game.

[@j-r-m7775]

This game put Steph at over 30 ppg. for the season. But losing in the finals keeps the fact that MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE ONLY PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY TO AVERGAE 30 AND WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE SAME YEAR. Look it up it's never been done by anyone else.

[@fellowli6852]

Well I guess you didn't look it up yourself. Kareem did it in 70-71 and Rick Barry did it in 74-75 so..yeah. However, Michael is the only one who did it multiple times - 91,92,93,96.

youre wrong, it isn't officially announced until sometime during the second round

it was unanimous anyway, no one else had votes so they knew he already had it won

[@alessastripers6905]

congrats G'S WARRIORS 400--3 POINT SHOTS MADE IN A SINGLE SEASON

[@joabnyabuto6041]

Correction, Steph is the one who made 400+ 3s that season not the warriors.

[@dustinturner9498]

Excactly like the announcer said at the end there never leave him. I'm no nba player but as a defender i would be in Currys pocket every single second of the game. I wouldn't even give him an inch. Theres times in this video where they leave him wide open not even anyone guarding him..you gotta do better than that if you want to stop him you already know hes always looking to shoot the 3. I mean shit hes the best shooter ever thats why you gotta be in his face, at least challenge him

[@blitzcloud]

+Dustin Turner problem being that curry is really unpredictable. You fall for a feint? Oh, three pointer just got scored. You think he's actually thinking of a three pointer? he just went past you. He really is a versatile player, and his three pointer play makes him very dangerous.

[@simeonterziyski3410]

+Dustin Turner you won't have time to react what he will do. He isn't playing only for 3 pts because when he get close to the basket they cant stop him either. He is the best 3 pts shooter for sure but when you have the best team ever its easier too they are playing so much for him and he does for them as well.

[@jeremiahbeck7440]

They couldn't even stop him even if all he could do is shoot 3 pointers he's got unlimited range they couldn't even slow him down

[@bwp2bruce]

You assume you're be good enough for the coach to even leave you in the game. The game isn't just defense anyway. Is your offense good enough to be worth it to keep you in the game. What makes you think you can keep up with Curry you non-NBA caliber player? You'd be getting screened all over the place. Meanwhile, while you're so focused on Curry what about team defense? Can you guard Curry and still focus on the defensive game plan? IDK, I think you might end up getting embarrassed. Guarding Curry for even just one play isn't easy. Attempting to Guard him for 48 minutes is insanity.

[@mariabegley5817]

why do they keep leaving curry that open

[@jalencarreras3416]

Curry doesn't play like this no more

[@xposebandwagons7777]

Jalen Carreras he doesn't have to the dude is unselfish he knew with addition of kd his game will slower down cause know he has kd and Klay who can take over yet he draws the double team Everytime which is why gs is effective
