Steph Curry reaches legendary milestone: ties Michael Jordan’s record
Against the Spurs, Curry earns a place next to Jordan in NBA history: 44 games with at least 40 points after turning 30
Some performances simply don’t belong to the realm of normality – not even in an era where offense rules the NBA. Stephen Curry’s masterpiece in San Antonio falls squarely into that category: 49 points in 36 minutes, superstar numbers that allowed him to reach a milestone previously shared only with Michael Jordan.
The Warriors’ icon delivered with almost unreal efficiency: 16/26 from the field, 9-of-17 from three, and a perfect 8-of-8 at the line. But what makes the night truly historic is the detail emerging from the record books: this was his 44th game with at least 40 points after turning 30, and before tonight, only Jordan had ever reached that mark. A truly exclusive club—now with two members.

With this win, Golden State improves to 8-6, staying firmly in the Play-In race in an increasingly unpredictable Western Conference. Curry and company remain ahead of Portland and Utah, while Phoenix and the Spurs linger just behind them.
Steve Kerr’s team now continues its road trip, with the next matchup set for November 16 against the New Orleans Pelicans – an important test to determine whether this version of the Warriors can finally find some consistency.
