Curry makes history as Warriors beat Kings

Stephen Curry became the first Golden State Warriors player in NBA history to reach 700 20-point career games after helping his side to a 132-108 win against the Sacramento Kings.

Curry was one of four players to get 20 points or more, with Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody combining for 43 while Buddy Hield had 22.

The win moved the Warriors above the Kings in the Western Conference standings into ninth.

Curry’s tally of 20 meant he also tied with NBA legend Michael Jordan for the most games with 20 or more points by a guard after turning 35.

Western Conference leaders the Oklahoma City Thunder returned from the All-Star break to beat the Utah Jazz 130-107 in Salt Lake City.

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 Cavs have won 46 of their 56 games so far.

The Milwaukee Bucks edged the Washington Wizards 104-101, with Brook Lopez claiming 18 points and nine rebounds.

The Miami Heat won 120-111 at the Toronto Raptors to end a four-game losing streak, the Detroit Pistons beat the San Antonio Spurs 125-110, the Dallas Mavericks saw off the New Orleans Pelicans 111-103 and the Houston Rockets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 121-115.
