CURRY IS STILL MAKING HISTORY
With his 42 points on 11-of-16 made from beyond the arc on Wednesday, Stephen Curry continues to add to historical runs in his career. His 29 threes over the last three games (8, 10, 11) are the most in a three-game span in NBA history, and his latest performances against the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder made him the first player in league history to post back-to-back games with at least 10 threes multiple times in his career. Curry’s 42 points also made for his eighth-straight 30-point game, extending a career-best streak and giving him the longest 30-point streak by a Warrior since Rick Barry scored 30 points in nine-straight games during the 1966-67 season. Over the span of his last eight games, Curry is averaging 38.9 points on 55.4 percent from the field and 49.1 percent from three.
TEAM LEADERS
CLEVELAND SCOUTING REPORT
The Cleveland Cavaliers sit at 20-34 for 13th in the Eastern Conference’s standings. Although the record is not favorable, this is a team that sits within striking distance of their respective Play-In Tournament and is coming off of a Wednesday win over the Charlotte Hornets. They had four players score over 15 points each, including a game-high 25 points from Taurean Price and a season-high six 3-pointers made. Despite being the lowest scoring team in the league at 104 points per game and dealing with a rash of injuries to players in their rotation, the Cavaliers recently received reinforcements with the return of veteran forward Kevin Love who has notched three double-doubles in their last seven contests after he missing nine games. This team has their eyes set on making the playoffs.
