GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry doesn’t hold all of the NBA’s 3-point records. It just seems like he does.

On Tuesday against Memphis, Curry made a run at Klay Thompson’s NBA single-game record of 14 made 3s but fell two short of matching his former teammate in the Warriors’ 134-125 victory over the Grizzlies in an important Western Conference game.

Curry, the NBA’s all-time leader for career 3s and most 3s in a season, scored 52 points and also added 10 rebounds, eight assists and five steals. He made 16-of-31 shots from the field, including 12-of-20 3-pointers. He had 11 3s after three quarters, and Thompson’s record was within reach. However, Curry made just 1-of-5 3s in the final quarter.

He also moved into 25th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, passing Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Famer Jerry West. It was Curry’s 15th game with at least 50 points and his second 50-point double-double. He also passed Rick Barry for the second-most 50-point games in Warriors history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain (105).

Curry made his first 3 of the game with 7:43 left in the first quarter, made his next three attempts, missed one and scored Golden State’s final three points of the quarter with a deep ball with 11.2 seconds left. He made three 3s in the second quarter, three in the third and one in the fourth.

Jimmy Butler added 27 points and Draymond Green had a triple-double (13 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds) for the Warriors. Ja Morant scored a team-high 36 points for the Grizzlies.

The Warriors moved a half-game ahead of Memphis for the No. 5 seed in the West, and they are two games behind the fourth-place Los Angeles Lakers.
