Stephen Curry is going en fuego in the first half of their game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. The Golden State Warriors superstar drained seven 3-pointers through the first 24 minutes of action, dropping 30 first half points in the process.
His final one of the half came in the form of this ridiculous wing triple over the outstretched arms of Mavs defender Josh Richardson. As you can see below, via the Warriors Twitter account, the two-time NBA MVP swished the shot even while off-balance.

These incredibly torrid stretches have been a staple throughout Curry's career. It's one of those moments where you just need to drop everything and tune in to a Dubs game to watch the greatest shooter of all time put on a show.
With his first half line, Curry could be on pace to tie his buddy Klay Thompson for the NBA single-game three-pointers record. Thompson holds the record for most threes in a game with 14, a mark he made in just three quarters in an early season game against the Chicago Bulls back in the 2018-19 season.
Despite Curry's huge half, the Warriors found themselves down against the Mavs. Dallas currently held an 8-point cushion at the intermission and look prepared to bounce back from a 31-point defeat against this same Dubs squad a couple of nights ago. Mavericks star Luka Doncic had a huge half himself, scoring 21 points through the first 24 minutes of play.
Meanwhile, the Warriors look to carry the momentum of their huge win over Dallas on Thursday night. If Stephen Curry can stay this flaming hot for the 2nd half, it's hard to bet against them.
