Always finding new ways to make history, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry set a new NBA record in Game 3 vs. the Sacramento Kings. Making all six of his three-pointers from at least 28-feet in Thursday night's win over the Kings, Curry became the first player in NBA history to make at least six threes from that deep in a single playoff game.

The greatest shooter in NBA history, Curry is also the greatest distance shooter in NBA history, as his ability to extend well beyond the three-point line is a huge part of what has changed the game. There is truly no such thing as a "bad shot" for Curry, as his range can bend opposing defenses in ways that leave them with no answer for the Warriors star.

With their backs against the wall in Game 3, the Warriors were able to get a crucial win on their home floor. Curry was far and away the best player on the court, finishing with a game-high 36 points. A dominant home team all season, the Warriors will look to get one more win at home to even the series before heading back to Sacramento. Game 4 feels equally as vital as Game 3 was, so expect Curry and his teammates to approach it with the same level of intensity.
