That’s how Steph Kerry got into the game (Golden State, Reuters)
After breaking the NBA three-point record, Steph Kerry celebrated it early Tuesday morning with Golden State fans. For his first game since the impressive landmark, the Warriors star arrived with a black jacket that read: “The Greatest of All Time,” “The Peak of Threes” and the number 2974 – the number of threes on the way to the peak. In the first quarter Kerry received a standing ovation from the crowd, thanked him and then scored 30 points in a 98: 113 victory over Sacramento.
Kerry’s 15 points came just in the final quarter where Golden State won 19:29 after being 79-84 ahead. “Very few players can change a game like that,” he said Steve Kerr“It takes supreme confidence to do something like that. His fourth quarter was fantastic.” By the way, after 4 of 12 out of the arc, Kerry stands at 2,982 career threes and his next milestone will be 3,000 threes with the only question being just when that will happen.
Ja Morant Returning after a 12-game absence, he scored 16 points and added 8 assists and 6 rebounds in Memphis’ 102-99 home loss to Oklahoma City. Without him the Grizzlies were on a 2:10 balance, and in his rematch the guard heard from fans that he should not play. He said of it: “It’s frustrating. Usually when someone says something negative to me it gives me motivation, but this time the comments from the fans hurt me. I’ll do what I always do and that’s overcoming it. I’m already waiting for the next game.”
In Boston Joel Ambide scored 41 points (17 in the final quarter) and led Philadelphia to 103-108 over the Celtics. The one who especially enjoys the show is the rookie Miles Powell, Who was already in Dallas on his way to a Development League game when his agent called him and informed him he was joining the Sixers’ roster as a substitute due to absences as a result of the Corona. Two days after that he was already making his NBA debut and came off the bench to score 8 points.
“The last 72 hours have been a dream come true,” he said, “I just saw Ambide hit the floor and score 41 points with 10 rebounds. For me, being a rookie in this league and seeing a performance like that is something I will never forget.”
