History is on the horizon.
Warriors star Stephen Curry is just seven 3-pointers away from passing Ray Allen as the NBA’s all-time 3-point leader, and it just might come tonight in Golden State’s matchup with the Indiana Pacers on Monday.
Curry went into last week’s game against the Trail Blazers needing 16 3-pointers to break the record, and because you can never count him out, Curry actually had people believing he might make it happen. He shot 6-for-17 from 3-point range in that one, moving even closer to the record.
In the Warriors’ next game against the 76ers, Curry was 10 3-pointers shy, a much more achievable number. But a cold shooting night, going 3-for-14 from 3-point range, saw him come up short again, leading him to the deficit he faces tonight.
