Warriors’ Steph Curry Passes Major Career Mark Against the Nets

The questions around the Golden State Warriors are not going away.

The roster is older. The margins are thinner. The dynasty years are no longer the default setting. But one thing has refused to fade with the rest of the era.

Stephen Curry.

On Monday night in Brooklyn, Curry added another line to his resume during Golden State’s 120–107 win over the Brooklyn Nets, passing Kevin Garnett for 21st place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

It happened quietly. A made shot in the flow of the game. No stoppage. No celebration. Just another marker passed by a player who has spent his career redefining what normal looks like.

Steph Curry Keeps Moving the Line

Curry finished the night with 27 points on 8-of-15 shooting, continuing a stretch of play that has looked remarkably familiar for someone in his late 30s.

At 37, Curry is averaging nearly 29 points per game while still bending defenses in ways few players ever have. His shooting range remains limitless. His movement still warps coverages. And his presence alone changes how games are played.

That consistency is what makes the milestone matter.

Passing Garnett places Curry among the game’s true long-term producers. Not specialists. Not volume scorers without impact. Players who shaped eras.

And Curry is still adding.

What Comes Next on the Scoring List

Curry sits 324 points behind Boston Celtics legend John Havlicek, a gap that projects to close within the next dozen games at his current pace.

Beyond that, the list becomes a roll call of legends. Names that once felt untouchable are now part of the conversation. Not because Curry chased them, but because longevity and excellence eventually meet.

There is no urgency in how Curry approaches it. No hunting shots. No force. The points arrive as a byproduct of the same game he has always played.

Context Matters for the Warriors

This milestone arrives at an interesting moment for Golden State.

The Warriors are hovering around the middle of the standings, trying to stabilize a season that has swung between encouraging and frustrating. The supporting cast has shifted. The margin for error has narrowed.

Yet Curry’s presence keeps them relevant.

Even as the franchise searches for clarity about what comes next, Curry continues to deliver nights that remind everyone why the window never fully closes when he is on the floor.

Final Word for the Warriors

Passing Kevin Garnett is not a finish line.

It is a reminder.

Stephen Curry is still writing. Still climbing. Still altering the math of what an NBA career can look like.

The dynasty may be quieter now. The debates louder. The future less certain.

But the constant remains.

And as long as Curry keeps moving up lists like this, the Warriors will keep believing there is still more to chase.
