On Friday night, Steph Curry once again reminded the basketball world why he’s a living legend, torching the Portland Trail Blazers for a game-high 35 points in just 27 minutes. The former back-to-back NBA MVP was electric, shooting 12-of-22 from the field, including seven triples, while adding six rebounds, three assists, a steal, and two blocks. Despite his heroics, the Golden State Warriors fell 139-119 to the Trail Blazers, marking their first loss of the season and dropping their record to 2-1.
Curry’s performance was nothing short of historic, but even his brilliance couldn’t overcome the blowout defeat. The game was the second of a grueling back-to-back for the Warriors, who had just edged out Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 137-131 at home on Thursday. This loss also capped a hectic stretch of three games in four nights for Golden State, which began with a 119-109 victory over Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers on opening night.
Despite the demanding schedule, Curry has been in peak form to start the 2025-26 season. The 37-year-old has been on a scoring rampage, dropping 23 points against the Lakers, 42 against the Nuggets, and now 35 against the Blazers. His latest outburst wasn’t just another big night—it etched his name deeper into the NBA record books.

According to Polymarket Hoops on X, Curry is now the oldest point guard in NBA history to record consecutive 35-point games, a testament to his enduring greatness. On top of that, he set another record for the most games in NBA history with at least 35 points while attempting fewer than five free throws. Against Portland, he was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line, showcasing his efficiency and flair.
While the Warriors couldn’t pull out the win, Curry’s unprecedented performance has the basketball world buzzing. Golden State will look to bounce back in their next game, a home matchup against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday at Chase Center. Tipoff is set for 10 p.m. ET, and if Curry’s early-season form is any indication, fans are in for another show.
