Stephen Curry scored 50 points in Game 7 of the 2023 Warriors' first-round series against the Sacramento Kings, setting the all-time record for most points scored in a Game 7.
The Warriors won, 120-100, and eliminated the Kings, who qualified for the 2023 NBA Playoffs after snapping the longest playoff drought in professional sports.
Curry finished the game 20-for-38 from the field. He was 3-for-5 from the free throw line and 7-for-18 from behind the arc.'
Curry's former teammate Kevin Durant was the previous record holder. Durant had 48 against the Bucks in Game 7 of the Nets' 2021 season, in a game best-known for Durant's would-be game-winner – that is, if the edge of his left foot hadn't been on the three-point line.'
