“I’m enjoying the moment and now you’re knocking on the doorstep, it’s pretty surreal,” Curry said after scoring 26 points and going 5-for-15 from beyond the arc.
Curry, who now has 2,972 career 3-pointers, is primed to break Allen’s record on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.
After Monday’s game against the Pacers, coach Steve Kerr acknowledged that the weight of the record is hanging over both Curry and the Warriors.
“Just trying to make 3s and get to this record, it will be a relief for him I think, and for our team, when he does break it.
“I think subconsciously you just want him to get the record,” Green said.
“The relief part, I get what he’s saying just in terms of the buildup and not really knowing what game it’s going to be.
Hopefully he makes the first two 3s he shoots in the first quarter.
Every player in the league loves playing in the Garden.
He is trying to take the extra pomp and circumstance in stride as the milestone looms. After Monday’s news conference, he took a box of popcorn out of a nearby machine and calmly headed back near the locker room.
“I’ll be happy as hell when it’s over,” Green said.
