Stephen Curry Ties LeBron James for Rare Post-35 Scoring Record
A season-high 44-point night against Minnesota puts the Warriors star alongside James with 15 40-point games since turning 35.
Stephen Curry joined LeBron James in elite company on Wednesday night, continuing his defiance of father time by matching an age-defying scoring benchmark previously reached only by the 41-year-old superstar.
Curry delivered a season-high 44 points to propel the Golden State Warriors to a 119-114 road victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as reported by BasketNews. He rounded out the stat sheet with eight rebounds and six assists.
The performance marked Curry's 15th game with at least 40 points since turning 35, tying James for the most such outings in NBA history. Curry hit the milestone on 11-of-27 shooting from the floor, including 6-of-16 from three-point range and an unblemished 16-of-16 showing from the free-throw line.
