Stephen Curry was dangerously close to setting a three-point record Tuesday night as the Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (134-125).
Curry scored 52 points and 12 points in the contest. He also added 10 rebounds, 8 assists and five steels. He was three three pointers since setting up the record held by former teammate Klay Thompson, and one three pointer was apart from tying his personal records.

“52 points people are draped all over him, all the games are long,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, “I've actually seen this for 11 years and a long time before I became his coach.
“Men are wonderful to see.”

Curry was held without a field goal, and the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies with 51 points in their final matchup. He said he had forgotten the game and focused more on the size of the game when it came to playoff photos.
The Warriors came in fifth place in the Western Conference, winning, improving to 44-31, with the Grizzlies falling 44-32. Golden State is also half a game for the Minnesota Timberwolves and a full game for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Curry also passed Jerry West 25th on the NBA's highest scorer list of all time.

“I got a little emotional about it,” Curry said of passing west. “It was special. In his memory. What did he mean to our organization, to the league, to the world of basketball? That's the logo.”
