Warriors’ Steph Curry Sets NBA Game 7 Record With 50-Point Night as Warriors Knock Out Kings
Never sleep on Steph! The final two series of the NBA’s opening round came to a close this weekend with the Lakers blowing out the Grizzlies by 40 to win in six games and the Warriors outlasting the Kings. In the latter, a Game 7 on Sunday night set the stage for one the best performances of Stephen Curry’s career — 50 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and seven made 3s. Curry’s Dubs trailed the Kings by two at the half before winning the third and fourth quarters by double digits, each. As for Steph’s 50-ball? The greatest shooter on Earth scored the most points in a Game 7 in NBA Playoff history.
And with that, the second round is set and already underway. The Nuggets and Heat hold 1-0 leads in the next round. And lucky us… We get Lakers-Warriors — LeBron vs. Curry — in the next round.
