Stephen Curry sets NBA Finals record, drains 6 3-pointers in first quarter of Game 1

The Boston Celtics probably want to start guarding Stephen Curry just a little bit tighter.

Otherwise, the NBA Finals may be over quickly.

Curry went off in the opening 12 minutes of Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night in a record-breaking showing. He hit six 3-pointers for the Golden State Warriors in the period, which snapped the NBA Finals record for most made in a single quarter.

Curry actually held a share of the record already at five with Ray Allen and Kenny Smith.
