Steph Curry Sets Warriors Franchise Scoring Record

Steph Curry became the leading scorer in Warriors franchise history on Monday night, passing Wilt Chamberlain for top spot. The Big Dipper previously held the record of 17,783 points for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, averaging 41.5 ppg across 429 games for the franchise, which includes the NBA all-time mark of 50.4 ppg in the 1961-62 season.

With 19 points, Steph will pass Wilt and become the Warriors all-time leading scorer. He's not only the face of the team, but the symbol of a region. Dirk Nowitzki, Reggie Miller and Jerry West all understand what that's like. It's a unique and loyal club. https://t.co/ua73GQz87e

Of course, Curry didn't rest on his laurels and proceeded to destroy the Denver Nuggets with 53 points on 14/24 FG, 10/18 3P & 15/16 FT in the Warriors 116-107 win. It was the 18th game in Steph's career with 10+ three point makes in a game, which is the same as the next 5 players combined. Crucially, the win keeps the Warriors in the hunt for the play-in tournament in the Western Conference, with 4+ weeks remaining in the regular season.

Total career games with 10+ made three-pointers:

Steph Curry – 18

Klay Thompson – 6
Damian Lillard – 4
James Harden – 3
J.R. Smith – 3
Zach LaVine – 2
