Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors
· National Basketball AssociationStephen Curry reaches 4,000 career 3-pointers, Warriors hold off Kings for 6th straight win
Fans jumped to their feet and cheered when Curry connected in the third quarter, and a tribute played on the big screen during a timeout.
Playing a day before his 37th birthday, the two-time NBA MVP needed two more from deep coming into the game. Last Saturday, he became the 26th player to score 25,000 points. Curry had 11 points Thursday.
His first 3 was from the left wing with 5:35 left in the first. Smothered by Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan, Curry missed on his second try from near the top of the arc — after Green scored the first six points on a pair of 3s.
Jonathan Kuminga returned from a right ankle injury that sidelined him for 31 games. He had 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting.
DeRozan scored 23 points for the Kings in their third straight loss and fourth in five.
Steve Kerr matched late Hall of Famer Al Attles for most coaching wins in Warriors franchise history with 557.
Warriors: Jimmy Butler added six points, seven assists and five rebounds as the Warriors improved to 13-2 with him.
