GOLDMAN: Moments after the 2,974th three-pointer of Curry's career splashed through the net, Reggie Miller provided instant context. UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Here's Curry for the record.

And about five minutes into the first quarter. So I didn't want to, like, rush it because I knew - that's when you can kind of get in your head trying to, like, force the moment. STEPHEN CURRY: I got the ball coming down, and I could see everybody on that end of the stadium start to slowly stand up, and there was, like, a buzz. But then with history waiting, Curry, a player so relaxed on the court he looks like one of those inflatable dancing figures outside a mattress store, didn't exactly tense up, but he said he did become aware of the moment. He hit the first one no problem - record tied. Steph Curry needed to sink just two three-pointers to break a record held by former Hall of Famer Ray Allen. TOM GOLDMAN, BYLINE: There was no real suspense heading into last night's game at New York's Madison Square Garden. Curry broke the record for three-point shots and solidified himself as a player who has revolutionized basketball. Now to sports and the NBA, where yesterday, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors became the league's greatest long-range shooter.
