Stephen Curry’s Historic Night: 25,000 Career Points and Counting

Stephen Curry Reaches 25,000 Career Points as Warriors Triumph Over Pistons

In a thrilling night of basketball, Stephen Curry once again etched his name into the annals of NBA history. The Golden State Warriors’ superstar became the 26th player in NBA history to score 25,000 career points. This remarkable milestone was achieved during the third quarter of the Warriors’ 115-110 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night in San Francisco.

As the game unfolded, Curry’s performance was nothing short of electrifying. At the 8:32 mark of the third quarter, he sank a 3-pointer that not only added to the Warriors’ lead but also pushed him past the 25,000-point threshold. The crowd erupted in applause, and Curry received a warm ovation when he was recognized during a timeout with 5:42 remaining in the quarter.

After the game, Curry’s excitement was palpable. “BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!” he shouted while running back through the hallway to the locker room. This exuberant celebration was a nod to his teammate, Draymond Green, who is known for his signature “boom” exclamation after making a 3-pointer. Green, who hit the go-ahead 3 with just 35 seconds left on the clock, made sure to secure the game ball for Curry, a gesture that underscored the camaraderie and mutual respect within the team.

Curry, at 36 years old, finished the game with 32 points, bringing his career total to 25,017. His shooting stats for the night included 8-for-22 from the field, and he was flawless from the free-throw line, converting all 12 of his attempts. This victory also marked the Warriors’ impressive 11-1 record with Jimmy Butler in the lineup this season.

Reaching this milestone in his 1,011th game, Curry continues to defy expectations and set new standards. His next target is to become the first NBA player to make 4,000 3-pointers. On Saturday, he added four more to his tally, leaving him just seven shy of this unprecedented achievement.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr couldn’t help but marvel at Curry’s accomplishments. “It’s crazy, crazy,” Kerr said. “It feels like 25,000 3s actually. It’s dynamite. Just night after night, and tonight was obviously not a great shooting night for him. But I loved that he played through fatigue and a physical defense and got to the line 12 times. He was brilliant on a night when his shot really wasn’t there, he was still brilliant. That’s the mark of a great player.”
