Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry finished with five 3-pointers in Monday's 102-100 win over the Indiana Pacers, putting him on the doorstep of the NBA's all-time record that he will now look to break Tuesday night on the league's grandest stage -- Madison Square Garden.
The 33-year-old sharpshooting guard was 5-for-15 from beyond the arc against the Pacers, giving him 2,972 3s for his career -- one behind Ray Allen (2,973) and two away from sole possession of the record.
A near-sellout crowd was less interested in the game's result than seeing history.
