Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been named the Week 2 Western Conference Player of the Week, the NBA announced today. The award marks the 20th career weekly recognition for Curry, who is the 13th player in NBA history to earn at least 20 career weekly honors.
Curry averaged 30.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.25 steals in 31.1 minutes while shooting 57.4% from the field, 52.3% from 3-point range and 87.0% from the free throw line during Golden State’s 3-1 week. Curry began the week with a season-high 42 points on Oct. 30 at New Orleans and extended the team’s season-opening road win streak to four with a game-winning layup in the Warriors’ In-Season Tournament opener on Nov. 3 at Oklahoma City. Curry’s shot with 0.2 seconds remaining marked his ninth career game-winning shot with fewer than five seconds on the clock. Curry, who has hit at least four threes in all seven games this season, also extended his NBA-record streak to 252 consecutive regular season games with at least one 3-pointer.
