Curry tied Bryant's old-man record with this 3-pointer in transition during the third quarter. The 2-time MVP even broke out a nasty dance to celebrate the trey.

Bryant accomplished this feat in the midst of the 2012-13 season, the same year he suffered his career-altering torn Achilles near the end of the campaign.
Curry is obviously having an insane stretch of games since he returned from a tailbone bruise on March 29th. The 7-time NBA All-Star definitely isn't planning to slow down anytime soon. Over the last nine games, Curry is averaging 38.2 points while shooting 54.5 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from long distance.
Those numbers are just bound to go up with yet another eruption against the Celtics. Curry finished with 47 points and 11 3-pointers. This marked the third game in four outings where he made 10 or more 3-pointers.
Unfortunately, Curry's Herculean effort wasn't enough to stop Boston from notching its 6th win in a row. He also suffered an ankle scare during the fourth quarter.
The former Davidson star looks hell bent on leading the Warriors to the playoffs this season. The 119-114 defeat snaps a four-game winning streak for the Dubs. Golden State is still in the midst of fighting for a play-in spot and they will need Curry to continue his stellar play to make a push for the postseason.
