Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is making it rain in February.

On the same night Curry sunk an unbelievable 100-plus foot tunnel shot, the 10-time All-Star inked his name into the history books one more time.

In Wednesday’s 130—125 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Curry made nine three-pointers to become the first player in NBA history to record at least seven three-pointers in four consecutive games.

He celebrated the moment with his signature shimmy:

Curry, who went 9-of-19 from beyond the arc and finished with 41 points, caught fire at Chase Center, but his hot streak wasn’t enough to outlast a well-oiled Clippers team.

Wednesday’s loss ended the Warriors’ five-game winning streak, and Golden State dropped to 14—14 in home games. The Warriors sit in 10th place in the Western Conference with a 26—26 record.

Curry surpassed Ray Allen as the NBA’s career three-point leader in 2021 and has accumulated a wealth of three-point records over the course of his 15-year career. The 35-year-old sharpshooter will compete head to head against the New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu in a three-point contest during All-Star weekend in Indianapolis on Saturday.
