Stephen Curry Makes History: Warriors Star Passes Tim Duncan
The Golden State Warriors may have walked away with a tough loss on Friday, but Stephen Curry still managed to etch his name deeper into the history books. In a career that has already defined a generation, Curry reached another major milestone by surpassing Tim Duncan on the NBA all-time scoring list. Heading into the matchup against Sacramento, the veteran guard sat at 26,493 career points, just four shy of the Hall of Fame forward. It didn’t take long for the inevitable to happen, as Curry drained a signature three-pointer from the top of the key in the second half, officially claiming the 22nd spot for himself.
Watching Curry work is a reminder that his influence on the game transcends simple stat lines. Even with an injury-plagued Year 17 that limited his rhythm, his ability to manipulate a defense remains elite. Honestly, at this stage of his career, seeing him dismantle record books is just another Tuesday, even if the scoreboard didn’t swing in the Warriors’ favor this time around. He finished the night with 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting, but the damage to the record book was already done.
He moved to 22nd on the all-time scoring list with that clutch performance.
Despite the individual glory, it was a frustrating night for Golden State as they dropped a close one to the Kings. The Warriors saw strong contributions from Brandin Podziemski, who exploded for 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting, alongside double-digit efforts from De’Anthony Melton, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Gary Payton II. Yet, the collective effort wasn’t enough to secure the win. The team now sits at a 37-44 record, firmly locked into the 10th spot in the Western Conference standings as the regular season winds down.
US News Hub Misryoum reports that the team is now looking ahead to their regular season finale against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 12. With the play-in tournament looming, the stakes couldn’t be higher. While the loss to the Kings stings, having a healthy Stephen Curry climbing the ranks provides a glimmer of momentum heading into the postseason. Whether or not they can make a serious run remains the biggest question, but you can never truly count out a team led by a guy who consistently shatters expectations, even on his quietest nights.
