Stephen Curry scored 29 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Miami Heat 120-100 on Thursday night, 5 November 2026, at Chase Center in San Francisco — and added another milestone to a career full of them.
Curry scored 22 of his 29 points in the second half, including 14 in the third quarter, as Golden State turned a 53-53 half-time tie into a 20-point win. The Warriors outscored Miami 38-23 in the third quarter.
The win was Golden State’s sixth straight after an 0-3 start to the season. The Warriors are only the fifth team in NBA history to win six straight after starting a season 0-3 — a remarkable turnaround for a team that looked lost in the opening week.
With a three-pointer at the 7:03 mark of the first quarter, Curry passed Oscar Robertson, on 26,710 points, to move into 17th place on the NBA’s career scoring list. He finished the night on 26,737 career points.
Curry shot 9 of 19 from the field with six three-pointers and no turnovers in 28 minutes. He had started 1 for 8 and was 2 of 10 at half-time, before catching fire after the break.
Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists for Golden State, and Draymond Green had a game-high 11 assists while defending Giannis Antetokounmpo.
For Miami, Davion Mitchell scored a team-high 22 points and Bam Adebayo added 18, while Giannis Antetokounmpo had 20 points and 14 rebounds. Miami was playing the second night of a back-to-back after its overtime win over the Clippers.
The Warriors’ revival is one of the stories of the young NBA season. From 0-3 to six straight wins, Golden State have found their rhythm — and with Curry passing another legend on the scoring list, the milestones keep coming.
It was a huge week for NBA scoring, from Victor Wembanyama’s 52 points against the Mavericks to Luka Doncic’s 40 points in the Lakers’ third straight win.
