Hot Curry resets own 3-point mark

OAKLAND, California—Stephen Curry eclipsed his own NBA record for most three-pointers in a season, scoring 45 points to rally the Golden State Warriors to a 116-105 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

Curry entered the game four shy of his mark of 272 three-pointers, which he set two years ago in the season finale at Portland. He hit six before halftime and eight overall, teaming with fellow Splash Brothers star Klay Thompson to bring the Warriors back from 13 points down.

Curry added nine assists, and Thompson scored 26 to help Golden State avoid its first three-game losing streak this season.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points and six rebounds, and Damian Lillard added 20 points and eight assists for the Blazers, who have already locked up the Northwest Division.

In Miami, Pau Gasol had 16 points and 15 rebounds and Chicago Bulls easily wiped out a 19-point halftime deficit to deal a huge blow to Miami’s playoff hopes with an 89-78 win.

Aaron Brooks and Taj Gibson each scored 14 points for the Bulls, who were outscored 33-12 in the second quarter—then went on a staggering 39-8 run to open the second half. Miami missed its first 12 shots after halftime.  Chicago moved back into the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference standings.  AP
