Stephen Curry passes Reggie Miller for the fourth most threes in playoff history

After losing just one game en route to their championship win last season, the Golden State Warriors have already suffered more defeats this year.

The New Orleans Pelicans got themselves back into their Western Conference semi-final series with the defending champions with a huge 119-100 victory at home on Friday night.

This is now the second loss for the Warriors in this postseason after dropping one game against the San Antonio Spurs in the opening round.

The loss came despite the Dubs having their four All-Stars on the court together for the first time in months.

Stephen Curry was inserted back into the starting lineup after he came off the bench in his comeback from an MCL sprain in game two.

The two-time MVP didn't look rusty in his first game back as he dropped 28 points and immediately looked like his usual self.

But with the adrenaline of returning to the court for the first time in five weeks wearing off, the 30-year-old suffered some rust in their heavy game three loss.

He shot just 6-of-19 from the field and 3-of-9 from three-point range for 19 points.

His three makes from beyond the arc proved to be significant, however, as it allowed him to set an impressive milestone despite a poor shooting night.

Curry has now passed Hall of Famer Reggie Miller for fourth all-time for threes made in the playoffs.

The sharpshooter is now on 322 for his career and is getting closer to breaking Ray Allen's record of 385.

It's certainly possible for one of the greatest shooters in NBA history to notch another 63 this season as the Warriors could make it to the finals for a fourth straight year.

If he hadn't missed six games already, he would surely have overtaken Allen this year. Either way, it's almost a certainty that he'll break the record at some point and once again make three-point history.

The speed at which Steph was able to overtake Miller is truly remarkable as he reached 322 in just 77 playoff games. By contrast, Reggie hit 320 in 144 postseason outings.

Curry, however, wasn't prepared to pat himself on the back as he was disappointed with his shooting display in New Orleans.

"I was rushing a little bit and just missed shots," Curry said, per ESPN. "I'm not going to get in my head about it. ... You can't really dwell on anything."

The point guard and the Warriors will look to bounce back in Sunday's game four and aim to take a 3-1 lead back to Oakland. - Give Me Sport
