Overview
- Steph Curry passed Dominique Wilkins to reach 18th on the NBA’s regular-season scoring list during the Warriors’ 112-95 win over the Lakers on Friday night.
- Curry hit the milestone early in the fourth quarter on an open 3 off a Will Richard screen and a Draymond Green pass, finishing with 31 points, six assists, four rebounds, and eight made threes.
- The Warriors erased a 25-point deficit in the game, with the bench outscoring the Lakers’ reserves 50-7 and Brandin Podziemski contributing 21 points and six assists.
- Curry’s new career total is reported in the mid-26,600s, a mark made more notable by past injury absences including a 2019–20 season limited to five games.
- If he stays healthy and keeps his current scoring pace, Curry is positioned to challenge Oscar Robertson next and could climb further among active scorers such as Kevin Durant and DeMar DeRozan.
