Stephen Curry's 41 Points Lift Warriors to 7th Straight Win at Age 38

Stephen Curry scored 41 points in a 126-119 overtime win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, Nov. 7, pushing the Golden State Warriors to seven straight wins. He is 38, according to Basketball-Reference.

The season line

ESPN's totals through seven games showed 209 points, 60-of-128 from the field, 33-of-75 from three and 56-of-57 at the line.

Curry has played eight of the team's 10 games. Heavy reports he missed two for rest and that the Warriors went 1-1 in them.

Saturday against Orlando

Curry made 13 of 19 shots, 5 of 10 threes and all 10 of his free throws, according to IBTimes AU. Bleacher Report lists him with six rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes. The Associated Press, via TSN, reports he scored on a three-point play and a layup in the final minutes of overtime.

The AP also reports it was his second 40-point game of the season and his 16th after turning 35. That is the most in NBA history, ahead of LeBron James with 15 and Michael Jordan with 12.

How the streak was built

Golden State opened 0-3. ClutchPoints reports the team is now 7-3 and has not lost since. Fadeaway World lists the first five wins as over the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Lakers, Clippers and Suns. The sixth was a 120-100 win over Miami, per the AP. The AP says seven in a row is the franchise's longest streak since seven straight from March 3 to 15, 2025.

The context behind the numbers

Curry is in a franchise-record 18th season with the Warriors, according to NBA.com game notes. Heavy says he entered the year with questions about a knee injury that cost him half of last season, and that coach Steve Kerr installed a new five-out offense that took Curry and Draymond Green time to adjust to.

The AP reports he passed Oscar Robertson (26,710 points) for 17th on the career scoring list on Thursday.
