Olympic record for 3 pointers in a game

But since it's Curry, anything's possible. Curry attempted 19 total field goals, 17 of which were from beyond the arc. He hit six of his threes, accounting for all but two of his made buckets. Maybe the anticipation was getting to Curry himself, as he started the game 0-for-4 from three, including an airball. But he found a rhythm as the game went on. Now, it makes sense for the Warriors to want to feed Curry the ball and see him break the record at home -- especially because it'll be five games until they are back at Chase Center.

But in doing this, Golden State completely lost their offensive rhythm, particularly early on. Curry and the Warriors will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday where Curry will need to drain 10 triples to set the record against his brother , Seth Curry.
