On April 19, Beijing time, the Warriors continued to sit at home to meet the Nuggets, and Curry continued to be arranged by Kerr to play as a substitute in the second playoff game of this year. Curry scored 16 points at halftime to lead the Nuggets 57-51, Curry reached the playoff 3,000-point milestone, he became the 27th in history, and ranked 4th in the current game, behind the top three James, Durant and Harden.
Due to Curry's injury at the end of the regular season, he did not usher in a comeback battle until the playoffs, and Warriors coach Kerr arranged for him to play as a substitute in the first game of his comeback out of the need to protect Curry. Curry was in a general state of the comeback battle, with the help of the last quarter to have a "brush score", and finally got 16+3+4 data in 5 of 13.
Because Curry played well on the bench in the first game, and Poole and Tang Shen's backcourt partner was in excellent form, Kerr continued to arrange this arrangement in the second game of the playoffs, and did not arrange for Curry to play the starting.
Prior to this game, Curry had accumulated 2,984 points in his playoff career, and he was only 16 points away from reaching the 3,000-point milestone in the playoffs. As Curry's form continued to improve in this game, he continued to shoot inside and out to create damage, and after Curry has scored at least 16 points, he successfully reached the 3,000-point milestone in his playoff career.
As a result, Curry ushered in the 3,000-point milestone in his playoff career, becoming the 27th person in NBA playoff history, the previous being Lakers' 3-time Hall of Famer James Worthy 3022 points. As for the active players, Curry became the fourth player to reach the 3,000-point milestone in the playoffs, behind Harden with 3227 points, Durant with 4477 points and James with 7631 points.
It is worth mentioning that Curry has also become the first player in NBA history to contribute at least 3,000 points and 450 three-pointers in the playoffs, which shows Curry's projection dominance.
