The Golden State Warriors advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a 120-100 win on the road against the Sacramento Kings in Game 7 of their first-round series to prevail 4-3.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 50 points, a new NBA record for points scored in a Game 7, including seven three-pointers, which ties the most threes in Game 7 history, a feat the point guard has also achieved twice before. Curry also contributed eight rebounds, a number only bettered by Warriors center Kevon Looney’s 21 boards.
The 50 piece surpasses Curry’s former Warriors teammate Kevin Durant’s previous Game 7 high of 48, set during the 2021 playoffs while playing for the Brooklyn Nets versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Atlanta Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins and the late Boston Celtics star Sam Jones previously put up 47 points in a Game 7.
