Stephen Curry stunned the basketball world with an incredible 46-point performance, propelling the Golden State Warriors to a 125-120 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. This impressive display marked the 73rd time in his career that Curry has reached the 40-point milestone. In a historic feat, Curry surpassed Kevin Durant's record to become the ninth player in NBA history to achieve 40-point games. The Warriors badly needed this win, having suffered six consecutive road losses, including a crushing defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder the previous day. The Spurs' Victor Wembanyama also had a remarkable night, scoring a triple-double with 31 points. However, Curry's decisive impact in the third quarter, where he scored 22 points, proved pivotal in securing the win. He received valuable support from his teammates, including Jimmy Butler III, who contributed 28 points. Draymond Green played a crucial role, expertly defending Wembanyama despite their height difference. Warriors coach Steve Kerr praised Curry, saying, "When you have the privilege of watching Steph for 11-plus years like I have, you get used to this. He's the reason this whole thing has happened. He's our Tim Duncan. He's the sun in our solar system.
