Stephen Curry continues defying age, scoring 29 points and three triples in a 120-100 win over Miami that pushed his career total to 26,711—enough to pass Oscar Robertson on the NBA all‑time scoring list.

The Warriors, now on a six‑game streak, have rallied from double‑digit deficits in four consecutive wins, highlighting Curry’s enduring impact.
