Curry Becomes 1st Player with 6 Steals and 6 3-Pointers in Playoff Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry had six three-pointers and six steals in Wednesday's 98-78 Game 5 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, making him the first player in NBA history to reach both of those statistical benchmarks in one playoff game, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

He made six of his 13 three-point attempts, accounting for all of his made field goals and all but three of his field-goal attempts.

Curry actually posted a pretty modest stat line by his own lofty standards, finishing with 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists, six steals and five turnovers in 33 minutes.

Still, in addition to the record for steals and treys, he's also just the third player to put up five three-pointers, five steals and five assists in a single playoff game, joining Mike Bibby and Tim Hardaway, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

As if that weren't enough, the 27-year-old guard hit the 100th playoff three-pointer of his career during Wednesday's game, making him the fastest player in NBA history to reach the milestone, as noted by NBA.com/stats.

Curry needed just 28 games to get there, besting Ray Allen's former record of 35.

Already the NBA's record holder for three-pointers made in a single season, Curry is seemingly on track to set a slew of playoff marks for three-point shooting.

The Warriors should be playoff participants for years to come, and Curry is rapidly building a case to be viewed as the greatest long-range shooter in league history.
