History.

Warriors star Stephen Curry passed Ray Allen as the NBA's all-time 3-point leader in the Golden State Warriors' win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Dec. 14.

Curry came up just shy of the record in Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers, tallying 26 points on 5-for-15 shooting from 3-point range. That outcome set the table for a storybook ending, as Curry broke the record at The Mecca of Basketball in front of both previous record-holders, Allen and Reggie Miller
