Stephen Curry's stepback three with 7:03 left in the first quarter gave him his 26,711th career point and moved him past Oscar Robertson (26,710) for 17th on the NBA's all-time scoring list, and the Golden State Warriors closed a 120-100 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night at Chase Center, per NBA.com and the NBA.com box score. Curry finished with 29 points on 9-of-19 shooting, including 6 of 12 from three and 5 of 5 at the line, with four assists and zero turnovers in 27:57, and Golden State won its sixth straight after an 0-3 start, now 6-3.

The all-time climb is the headline number. The game turned when a cold first half flipped into a 38-23 third quarter against a Heat lineup that brought Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins into Chase and still left trailing by 20.

The three that moved the list

Per NBA.com, that first-quarter triple was the point that pushed Curry past Robertson. Six days earlier he had passed Dominique Wilkins (26,668) for 18th with 31 points in a 112-95 Emirates NBA Cup win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He ended Thursday at 26,737 career points, 38 behind DeMar DeRozan (26,775) for 16th. Hakeem Olajuwon sits 15th at 26,946; DeRozan needs 172 points to pass Olajuwon and Curry needs 210 (171 and 209 would tie), per the same NBA.com report.

He has scored at least 1,630 points in five of his last six seasons. Last season injuries limited him to 43 games and 1,142 points. The runway above him is Westbrook (27,176), Hayes (27,313) and Malone (27,490) if he approaches that 1,600-point mark again in 2026-27, per NBA.com. Through six games he is averaging 30.0 points on 42.9% three-point shooting in about 29 minutes a night, per NDTV Sports.

Cold start, then the third

The Associated Press, via CBS Sports, noted Curry began 1 for 8 and was 2 of 10 at halftime before the third quarter. The half ended tied at 53-53, and the teams were tied nine times in the contest before Golden State took control in the third, per the Warriors gameday recap on NBA.com.

Golden State then scored 38 in the third to Miami's 23. AP wrote that Miami was outscored 26-9 in one stretch of that quarter and could not recover. Curry made six threes for the night and, per AP, just missed a fourth straight game with 30 or more because he rested once the lead was safe. He was plus-17 in under 28 minutes.

Draymond Green posted a season-high 11 assists with five rebounds and two points in 27:25, plus-13, per the NBA.com box and AP. Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. Georges Niang scored 13 off the bench. Al Horford went 3 of 3 from the field and 2 of 2 from three for eight points in 17:59 and was plus-21. The Warriors shot 42 of 80 (52.5%) and 16 of 41 from three (39%), with 36 assists, 11 steals and nine blocks.

Miami's Chase return, and a minus-22

Antetokounmpo had 20 points and 14 rebounds with four assists on 7-of-13 shooting, but he finished minus-22 in 31 minutes. Davion Mitchell led Miami with 22 points and eight assists. Adebayo had 18 and 10. Thompson scored 11 on 3-of-10 shooting in his return to Chase, a night after he hit the overtime winner in a 117-116 win at the Clippers, per AP. Wiggins faced his former teammates and finished with two points on 1-of-6 shooting, six rebounds and four assists.

Miami shot 35 of 86 (40.7%) and 13 of 44 from three (29.5%) with 19 turnovers. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called defending the three-point line high on the priority list, per AP; Golden State still made 16 threes. The Heat are 3-6 and visit Sacramento on Sunday. The Warriors host Orlando on Saturday.

Jimmy Butler III, Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody and Gui Santos were inactive for Golden State, per the NBA.com box. The streak since the 0-3 start is now six wins, and Thursday's climb past Robertson is the second Top-20 move in less than a week.
