The Golden State Warriors continued their hot streak on Thursday, thanks to Stephen Curry‘s big night. The Warriors played against the Orlando Magic and Curry secured the 121-115 win due to his major scoring night. The four-time champion finished the game with 56 points on 12 3-pointers made.
The Warriors have a strong momentum as they’ve gone 7-1 since they traded for star forward Jimmy Butler. Golden State is currently on a five-game winning streak and has climbed up to the seventh spot in the Western Conference. The team has secured a 32-27 record this season.
In addition to making history with his performance, Curry became the only player to play nine games with at least 50 points in a game after turning thirty. NBA icon Wilt Chamberlain is the only player ranked second on the list.
After the game, Curry gave his game-worn jersey to his mother, Sonya, to remember his performance.

Stephen Curry has performed well for the Warriors this season. He’s appeared in 49 games, averaging 23.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists on 43.9% shooting from the field.
