A new milestone was conquered by Stephen Curry right after NBA All-Star 2024, appearing in the “destruction” of the Los Angeles Lakers at the Golden State Warriors’ home field.
Stephen Curry is known for his ability to score points, especially long throws, with a series of records he has broken and currently holds. But in addition to finishing, the Golden State Warriors star is still a PG and often creates scoring opportunities for his teammates.
This morning (February 23), he just reached a new milestone in this aspect on the day with his Warriors teammates destroying the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
Scoring 32 points with 12-24 FGs, 6 3-pointers with 3 steals and especially 8 assists in 32 minutes of play, Stephen Curry became the first Golden State Warriors player in history to reach 6,000 assists in the Regular Season. .
Of the “chef’s” eight assists against the Los Angeles Lakers, the most prominent was the no-look behind-the-back one-touch pass for Andrew Wiggins. Curry even turned away to celebrate with Draymond Green before Wiggins decisively.
By conquering the above assist milestone, Stephen Curry became the 8th player in NBA history to have at least 23,000 points and 6,000 assists.
The seven previous names who have done this include the legendary Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, John Havlicek and the trio of players still playing, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

On the other side of the front line, the Los Angeles Lakers were once again in a chasing position but were unable to recreate the comeback scenario in the previous meeting. At that time, LeBron James and his teammates erased the 15-point gap and eventually won 145-144 after 2 extra periods.
This time without LeBron (ankle injury), the LA Lakers accepted defeat with a score of 128-110. They were 17 points ahead in the third quarter and “raised the white flag” from the middle of the fourth quarter to keep the core team from having to play back-to-back tomorrow morning.
