Steph Curry joins historic company with performance vs Atlanta Hawks

It might have been in a losing effort, but Steph Curry put together a historic performance against the Atlanta Hawks. Along with notching a season-high 60 points, he converted 10 of his 23 three-point attempts.

Following this offensive barrage, Curry becomes only the third player in NBA history to record 60 points and 10 made threes in a game. Damian Lillard has done it twice, and Karl-Anthony Towns has accomplished the feat once.

The Golden State Warriors are four games under .500, but it is not because of Curry's play. He continues to play at an elite level while trying to cover up weak points in the roster. This season, Steph Curry is averaging 28.1 PPG, 4.4 RPG and 5.0 assists per game. Despite the Warriors' struggles, Curry was named to his 10th All-Star team.

Saturday marked the second time in Curry's career that he broke the 60-point mark. His career-high currently sits at 62, a feat he accomplished during the 2021 season against the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry only hit eight threes in that outing, but shot a stellar 18-for-19 from the free-throw line.

In his age 35 season, Curry is still proving he is one of the elite scorers in the league. Over his last 15 games, he has scored at least 40 points on five occasions.

Between Draymond Green's suspensions and Klay Thompson's struggles, many are ready to put an end to the Warriors' dynasty. That said, Curry is still playing like a superstar who is at the peak of their powers.
