Stephen Curry has just achieved a major milestone in his career, becoming the first NBA player to hit 3,500 three-pointers. This historic moment came as the Golden State Warriors secured a victory over the Brooklyn Nets, with Curry scoring a total of 37 points, including six three-pointers.

He finished the game with a flourish, scoring 12 straight points in less than two minutes during the fourth quarter. This incredible performance helped the Warriors end their three-game losing streak.

Curry's teammate Klay Thompson also had a standout game, contributing 24 points to the team's victory and moving into ninth place on the all-time career three-pointer list. With four other Warriors players scoring in double figures, it was a solid team effort that secured the win.

On the other side, the Nets, led by Cam Thomas, put up a strong fight, with Thomas finishing the game with an impressive 41 points. Despite their efforts, the Nets suffered their third loss in four games, with missed opportunities to equalize or take the lead in the final minute of the game.
