"I never would have thought at this point in the season I would be closing in on 300 and all that kind of stuff," he said. "That doesn't make sense to me. I've always tried to push the envelope and keep getting better, but a lot has to go right to get to this point."
Curry made 12 of his 16 3-point attempts against the Thunder, tying the mark for most 3s in a game held by Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall.
Curry rolled his ankle at 10:29 in the third quarter and missed five minutes to have it retaped. After re-entering the game, he scored 31 of his 46 points in 18:18 of action, shooting 9-of-15 from the floor, including 8-of-11 from 3-point range.
"It was a little nerve-racking," he said. "I wanted to make sure I was OK. I had to get it retaped. It was painful."
His final 3-pointer was especially dramatic, a 32-foot shot that broke a 118-118 tie with 0.6 seconds left in overtime to give Golden State the win.
Curry's incredible flurry had NBA stars, past and present, buzzing on social media.
