Stephen Curry scores 51, flirts with 3-point record in win over Wizards

Stephen Curry became the first player in NBA history to make 11 or more 3-pointers in a game on two occasions Wednesday when he hit 11 in a 134-121 win over the Wizards.

Hot from the start, Curry poured in 25 points on 7-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc in the first quarter. He cooled off a bit from there, but still finished the game with 51 points.
