Entering Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors have an all-time record of 155-51 when superstar point guard Stephen Curry shoots 10 or more 3-pointers in a game, which is a 62-win pace per season.
According to Justin Grant of ISportsWeb.com, when Stephen Curry shoots nine 3-pointers or less, the Warriors are 271-168. While that sets them up at a solid 50-win pace, it's not as good as 62 wins per season.
Here’s a stat: The Warriors are 155/51 (75%) all time when Steph shoots 10 or more threes in a game. That’s a 62 win pace.
They’re 271/168 (62%) when he shoots 9 or less. 50 win pace.

Curry is arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history. His gravity alone frees up his teammates for wide-open looks. This stat just shows that even if Curry is not making all of his 3-pointers, it is still helping the Warriors win more games compared to if he isn't shooting from beyond the arc at a high rate.
When it's all said and done, Curry will pass Hall of Famer Ray Allen for making the most shots from deep in NBA history. We have never seen a player shoot so effortlessly from 3 like Curry before and we likely never will.
On the season, Curry is averaging 28.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. The two-time league MVP is shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 47.4 percent from beyond the arc and 94.8 percent from the free-throw line.
Someone should show this stat to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr so he can tell Curry to let it fly from beyond the arc as much as possible, because the more Curry shoots from 3, the better chance the Warriors have to win the game.
