Curry makes history as Warriors beat Kings

After leading his team to a 132-108 victory over the Sacramento Kings, Stephen Curry led the NBA to reach 700 20-point games.

With 43 points combined for Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody, Buddy Hield had 22 and he was one of four players to score 20 or higher.

The Warriors moved into ninth place in the Western Conference standings after winning.

Curry now has 20 or more points scored by a guard after turning 35, which ranks him alongside Michael Jordan, the legendary NBA player, for the most games.

Oklahoma City, the only team in Salt Lake City to have lost to the Utah Jazz 130-107 after the All-Star break, was the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 21 points and Chet Holmgren got 20 as Thunder grabbed their eighth win in nine outings.

Elsewhere, the Cleveland Cavaliers claimed a dominant 142-106 victory over the New York Knicks to tighten their grip on the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks have won 46 of their 56 games so far.

Brook Lopez scored 18 points and nine rebounds for the Milwaukee Bucks, who defeated the Washington Wizards, 104-101.
