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.

It must be a first. Two guys from the same club managing two intercounty teams outside of their own county
Good man Henry, he tried out plenty of lads today including O Shea from a junior hurling team.
@Finnster: Might be a good thing to have an outside manager. He might look beyond the usual 3 or 4 clubs that usually make up the squad.
@Finnster: not a bad display from the faithful stick men either.
@Finnster: I think Donal O Shea is the first Salthill player on senior hurling team. Good start!
@Mike Keane: exactly
@Pauly Kel: not bad at all , I grew up in awe of the Dooley’s, Whelehans and Troy’s of Offaly . Great to see Offaly back where they should be
@Finnster: In the Joe McDonagh Cup?
@Mike Keane: many internal mangers come with some bias towards their local county club and rival county club, an outside manager can look at the players
@murt de murty: I know but they are on the way back up the way . Hopefully
@murt de murty: have to start somewhere again.. Fennelly is the right man in charge.
@Finnster: some players no doubt about it.. Little steps
Maybe anthony daly and davy
@Tony Mcgrath: Not the same club I don’t think
@Shaun Gallagher: ya Daly was Clarecastle and Davy sixmilebridge
Early days yet.
It’s not soccer. It’s the players ,not the managers, that win games.!!
