Warriors guard Stephen Curry has long established a propensity for rewriting the NBA record book, and he’s now entered entirely unprecedented air in NBA Finals history.
With his second 3-pointer in Thursday’s Game 1, Curry became the first player to make 100 long-range shots in the NBA Finals, taking five appearances (23 games) to create a century club for the league’s championship round.
