Few players in the NBA are playing better than Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry right now, and he has a chance to make history Saturday night against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden.

Curry has scored 30-plus points in nine consecutive games, putting him in reach of a league record set by Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant nearly 10 years ago.

Stephen Curry has been Must See TV in April. His nine consecutive 30-point games represent the 2nd-longest streak by a player at age 33 or older, trailing only Kobe Bryant’s streak of 10 in 2012.

Well....let's see if the recent play is for real (team wise) or just a run of lottery teams.

A win against the Celtics would have me thinking second round type hope :)

Celtics have an above average defense so it won't be easy for Curry to continue the streak. His shooting also cooled off a bit in the last game vs. Cleveland.

That was really good D by Poole forcing the Tatum miss. Nobody boxed out Parker so it won’t show in the +/-

Is it just me or is Steph consciously trying to start making an impact on the game sooner? It's become usual for him to turn things on in the third quarter but maybe after that game he passed Wilt he's realized he needs to do it earlier in the game.
