Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry claims second career scoring title

SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is the NBA's scoring king for the 2020-21 season.

An 11-foot floater late in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies gave Curry enough points to clinch the scoring title over Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal.

After Beal scored 25 points in Sunday's 115-110 win over the Charlotte Hornets to finish with a season average of 31.3 points per game, Curry needed only three points to take the scoring crown, which he accomplished with a pair of field goals, including the clincher with 3:24 to play in the first.
