It was Curry’s 14th game of 50 or more points and he moved past Patrick Ewing into 26th place on the NBA’s career scoring list with with 24,867 points. He hit 12 for 19 from 3-point range, making 10 or more for the NBA-record 26th time in his career. The 56 points fell six short of his career high.

The Golden State Warriors star posted his latest incinerating performance against the Orlando Magic, finishing with 56 points and 12 3-pointers. Both numbers are season highs for the former MVP, and he finished two 3-pointers short of former teammate Klay Thompson's single-game record of 14.

Stephen Curry went off for a season-high 56 points in a 121-115 win against the Orlando Magic Thursday night, but it shouldn't have come as a surprise if you checked the date. Feb. 27 is a memorable day for the Golden State Warriors star.

Not many people have played with a teammate who scored 50 points in a game, and Jimmy Butler was one of them until Curry broke that drought.
