Stephen Curry and Warriors push Rockets to brink
Trending Photos
NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry delivered a dazzling 40-point display on Saturday as the Golden State Warriors beat Houston 115-80 to push the Rockets to the brink of elimination in the Western Conference finals.
The Rockets will fight for their playoff lives knowing that no NBA team has come back from an 0-3 deficit to win a seven-game series.
Curry connected on 12 of 19 shots from the field, including seven of nine from three-point range.
He scored 19 points in the third quarter, when he was a perfect four-for-four from three-point range.
His stellar shooting helped stem a Rockets rally. They had eaten into a 25-point halftime deficit with a 7-1 scoring run to open the third period.
Curry, who broke his 2013 record for the most three-pointers made in a regular season with 286, has now drained the most long-range shots in a single post-season with 64 -- surging past the previous record of 58 set by Reggie Miller in 2000.
