The Warriors made NBA history in their 137-116 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday at Chase Center.
Golden State scored 137 points against Memphis with just two made free throws, breaking the previous record of 126 points on two or fewer free throws set by the 1979-1980 Los Angeles.
The Warriors previously accomplished a similar feat eight years ago when the infamous 73-9 squad scored 108 points in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Jan. 30, 2016, with just one free throw.
The feat shouldn’t be that surprising given Golden State (36-32) averages the seventh-most points per game (118.6), but the 25th-most free-throw attempts (20.8) per game in the NBA this season.
Stephen Curry added to his legacy as the NBA’s 3-point king, tallying his 300th of the season for the fifth time of his illustrious career and helping the Warriors to a 137-116 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday at Chase Center.
Curry had 14 points and was 4 of 7 beyond the arc. Only two other players – Golden State teammate Klay Thompson and James Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers – have made 300 3-pointers in a single season, each having done it once.
The Warriors got plenty of scoring all around. Klay Thompson scored 23 with five 3-pointers off the bench while Chris Paul had 12 points and 14 assists. Paul remains two steals shy of becoming the third player in NBA history to reach 2,600 during his career.
The win was critical for Golden State for multiple reasons.
