He made five in the first quarter, and got to 2,970 in the second.

Curry appreciated the way the fans embraced him and let him get lost in it.

Curry said that there was a lot of emotion for sure because he knows how much work has gone into this.

That's greatness.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said there was an "outpouring of love and support" for Curry as a "beautiful moment" played out in his side's 105-96 win at the New York venue.

Draymond Green yelled "Hell yeah!" after the Warriors called a time out after Curry's record-breaking basket. That's great!

Brooklyn Nets talisman Kevin Durant, who played alongside Curry with the Warriors from 2016 to 2019, posted a picture. NBA legend Magic Johnson thanked Stephen Curry for "revolutionising basketball".

Curry hugged his father, a former NBA player, after he beat his chest as he celebrated his moment of history.

He surpassed the 2,973 mark in his 797th game, while Allen achieved his old benchmark in 1,300 appearances.

Allen and Reggie Miller presented Curry with the three-point record after Allen broke it.

Curry said that basketball history is pretty special. These two people are legends. I understood what it meant to shoot the ball when I watched them grow up.

Man, this is a full-circle moment. I'm blessed.

The Warriors have 23 wins and five losses this season.
