MANILA, Philippines – On the same night, Steph Curry shattered his own NBA record then proceeded to break the hearts of every single Oklahoma City Thunder fan, with a matching dance to boot.
The reigning league MVP scored 46 points, nailed 12 3-pointers, and hit the game-winning shot in overtime to lead Golden State past OKC, 121-118, on Sunday, February 28.
Curry's 11th 3-ball of the game was actually his 287th of the year, which broke his own record for most 3-pointers made in an NBA season.

Curry's 12th 3-pointer of the game, which was the game-winner he hit from 32-feet out, tied the NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a game as well (Kobe Bryant, Donyell Marshall).
After making the shot, the league's top scorer then shimmied in front of the silenced Thunder crowd.
Draymond Green had an all-around game, finishing with 14 rebounds, 14 assists, 6 steals and 4 blocks, while Klay Thompson dropped 32 points.
Kevin Durant, who fouled out in overtime, had 37 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists. Russell Westbrook posted 26 points and 13 dimes.
OKC was actually ahead 103-99 after a Durant 3-ball with 14 seconds left in regulation.
After Thompson made a two-pointer, Durant turned the ball over after some pressure near the baseline. Finals MVP Andre Iguodala was then fouled and hit two charities to send the game to OT.
The Thunder was ahead again by 4, 114-110, with 1:40 left in OT, but Golden State rallied and tied the contest at 118-all with 29 seconds left following a Thompson and-one play.
After Westbrook missed a 14-footer, Curry dribbled the ball down and casually hit the 32-footer with 0.7 left to end the game and seal a classic performance for the ages. – Rappler.com
