In today’s NBA regular season matchup, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Atlanta Hawks 102–92 on the road, becoming the fastest team in league history to reach 50 wins in a single season. Leading the charge once again was Stephen Curry, who delivered a masterclass performance with 36 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists on 14-of-22 shooting, including 5-of-11 from three-point range.

Heading into this game, Curry had already made a three-pointer in 125 consecutive games, trailing only Kyle Korver’s all-time record of 127. As fate would have it, the Warriors were facing the Hawks—Korver’s former team—in a sharpshooter showdown. Just over a minute into the game, Curry showcased his trademark handle, using a lightning-quick crossover and step-back to drain a deep jumper, extending his streak to 126 games and moving within striking distance of Korver’s record.

But Curry wasn’t finished. In signature style, he followed up with a step-back fadeaway three that found the bottom of the net, once again leaving fans and defenders shaking their heads. Just before halftime, Curry knocked down two more threes in a 16-second span, igniting the crowd and putting the Warriors firmly in control.

By the final buzzer, Curry had hit 5 three-pointers, bringing his season total to 260 through 55 games—surpassing George McCloud’s 257 threes made during the 1995–96 season. That tally now ranks 6th all-time for single-season threes made, and remarkably, Curry holds four of the top six spots on that list, including the current record of 286 from last season. With his current pace, it’s only a matter of time before he breaks his own record once again.

Curry’s brilliance wasn’t limited to shooting. His playmaking was equally mesmerizing, setting up teammates with slick passes off pick-and-rolls and no-look dimes. One highlight came in the first half when he drove into the paint, faked a shot with a spin move, and dished out a one-handed pass to the corner for a wide-open three.

The Warriors built a 20-point lead at one stage, but the Hawks came roaring back, even taking the lead in the fourth quarter. With 5:28 left, the game hung in the balance—and that’s when Golden State turned to its MVP. Curry checked back in, immediately found space with off-ball movement, and drilled another catch-and-shoot three from the baseline. He followed it up with a series of aggressive drives to the rim, scoring back-to-back buckets and sealing the win.

This marked Curry’s 25th 30+ point game of the season, pushing him ahead of James Harden (24) for the league lead. Once again, when the lights were brightest, Curry proved why he’s in a league of his own—cool under pressure, deadly from deep, and capable of turning the tide in a blink. For opponents, trying to stop him is like trying to hold water in your hands—impossible to contain.
