ONE NIGHT AFTER tying Kyle Korver’s NBA record of 127 consecutive regular-season games shooting a three-pointer, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry wasted little time making the record his own.
Curry’s first-quarter deep-range effort against the Orlando Magic on Thursday was his 128th straight game with a successful shot beyond the arc — the longest streak in NBA history.

“That’s [127] a pretty outrageous number, I think,” Curry said before matching the record on Wednesday. “When I was talking about it last year, I knew where he was. I think I was at 40 or 45. And I remember hearing what his number was.
“That’s crazy — every night you’re hitting a three. Whether you’re shooting well or not, you’re still finding a way to knock down at least one. The longevity of that record is pretty remarkable.”
The last time Curry went a game without hitting a three-pointer was November 2014. He has made at least one in 202 of his last 203 NBA games.
Curry finished with 10 three-pointers in the Warriors’ 130-114 triumph over Orlando Magic and notched his third game this season of at least 50 points — he finished the night with 51.
In 34 minutes on court he also handed out eight assists and pulled down seven rebounds. He now has 276 three-pointers this season — 10 less than the record he set last season in leading the Warriors to the NBA crown.
