Stephen Curry made NBA history by becoming the first Golden State Warriors player to reach 700 20-point career games, leading his team to a 132-108 win against the Sacramento Kings.

Golden State Warriors' star Stephen Curry etched his name in the annals of NBA history by becoming the first Warriors player to achieve 700 career games with 20 or more points. This milestone was reached as the Warriors secured a commanding 132-108 victory over the Sacramento Kings.

Curry’s performance was pivotal, as he joined an elite group of players, tying with Michael Jordan for the most 20-point games by a guard after the age of 35. This achievement underscores Curry’s enduring excellence and his pivotal role in the Warriors' success.

The game was marked by a balanced team effort, with Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody combining for 43 points, and Buddy Hield adding another 22 points. This collective offensive prowess propelled the Warriors to climb above the Kings in the Western Conference standings, now sitting in ninth place.

In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers demonstrated their dominance with a 142-106 rout of the New York Knicks, further solidifying their position. The Cavs have been stellar this season, winning 46 of their 56 games.

Other notable results included the Milwaukee Bucks narrowly defeating the Washington Wizards 104-101, with Brook Lopez posting 18 points and nine rebounds. The Miami Heat ended a four-game losing streak with a 120-111 win over the Toronto Raptors. The Detroit Pistons triumphed over the San Antonio Spurs 125-110, and the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets secured victories against the New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves, respectively.
