Curry becomes first in NBA history to make 4,000 3-pointers

AP – Stephen Curry’s shooting range and accuracy from way back have long stood alone – whether with a defender or two in his face or when letting it fly from the logo.
Now, the NBA’s career leader in 3-pointers has reached new territory from beyond the arc: Golden State’s star guard is the first player in league history to reach 4,000 3s.
He did it a day before his 37th birthday, as the Warriors extended their winning streak to a season-best six games with a 130-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings in San Francisco.
His 4,000th came from the right wing and under pressure off a pass from Moses Moody with 8:19 left in the third quarter, on his fourth attempt of the night.
Fans jumped to their feet and roared when Curry made it, and a tribute played on the big screen during a timeout shortly after. It included a congratulatory message from former Warriors big man Andris Biedrins of Latvia who dished out the assist on Curry’s first 3.
The two-time NBA MVP needed two more from deep coming into Thursday night’s game at Chase Center. He hit his first from the left wing with 5:35 remaining in the opening quarter.
Smothered by Keegan Murray or DeMar DeRozan, Curry missed on his second attempt from near the top of the arc — after teammate Draymond Green scored the first six points on a pair of 3s and 7-footer Quinten Post also had two 3s.
Curry hit the front rim with his next try, a 30-footer four minutes before halftime. He could sense how everybody in the building couldn’t wait.
“I could feel the energy and the buzz from the beginning of the game after I made my first 3, even the second one I shot and missed it was an adrenaline rush, and they were with me every moment of the game tonight,” Curry said.
