Despite a shooting barrage from the two-time MVP, Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors failed to beat the Dallas Mavericks in an NBA game this year, with Curry dropping 11 threes and a remarkable 57 points. He had a career-high of 54 points in 2013, which he broke twice in one season itself.

Curry was dropping threes from half-court in this game and wrecking the will of his defenders all night. Eleven of his 57 points came in the final quarter, but unfortunately, the Mavericks survived his outburst and beat the Warriors by two points (134-132).

Curry finished with 57 points on 19-31 (61.3%) shooting from the field, including an unbelievable clip of 58% from downtown (11-19). He, unsurprisingly, made all eight of his free throws and also had two rebounds, five assists and a steal.

With the 'double-bang' shot against the OKC Thunder, Stephen Curry blew the minds of the sports world that night. He showed unreal clutchness shooting threes of a highly difficult variety against Kevin Durant's OKC Thunder in 2016. By doing so, he visibly broke the spirit of his defenders, and silenced the crowd in unbelievable fashion.

Arguably one of the greatest games he has ever played, Curry tied the then single-game record for most threes in the NBA with 12 bombs from beyond the arc. Several basketball analysts around the world have stated that Curry's game-winning three effectively changed the NBA forever.

He finished the night with 46 points, six assists, three rebounds and two steals on a ridiculous 14-24 (58.3%) shooting from the field, including 12-16 (75%) from the deep. His 30+ feet game-winner is still considered one of the most clutch shots in NBA history.

The game right before his historic night, Stephen Curry went 0-10 from beyond the arc against the LA Lakers. The greatest shooter in the league going scoreless from the three-point range? Curry wouldn't have it.

The next game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Stephen Curry redeemed himself, and did the unthinkable, dropping a then-NBA record 13 threes on just 17 attempts.

After his poor shooting night in Staples Center, Curry was hungry to drop a deep three-point bomb. Once he started feeling the ball, his teammates turned into his cheerleaders and started feeding him the ball at any opportunity they could find Curry.

He dropped 46 points in that game, shooting 16-26 (61.5%) from the field, while sinking 13 threes on an insane 76.5% clip.
