Watch: Steph Curry shoots the lights out in first quarter

Curry went 6-for-6 in his nine minutes in the first quarter, all on three-pointers. It was a great start, but only the second-most threes in a quarter of Curry's career. He had seven triples in the first quarter eight years ago against the Washington Wizards, finishing that game 11-for-15 from three-point range.

In a matchup between Indiana, the league's highest-scoring team, and the Warriors, No. 6 in scoring, it's not a surprise that the teams put up points. Golden State hit eight threes and scored 45 points, while Indiana had five triples of its own. The teams started the game making 11 of their first 14 three-point attempts, even with Indiana trading three-point ace Buddy Hield earlier in the day.

The only one who could stop Curry was Steve Kerr, who pulled Curry with 2:48 left in the quarter. Indiana couldn't do it, despite sending multiple defenders at Curry, who made three of his long-range bombs from well behind the arc.

The single-game record for three-pointers (14) is held by Curry's teammate, Klay Thompson, who missed tonight's game with an illness. Curry's best mark is 13, and he's hit 11 or more 12 separate times.

He added two more threes in the second quarter, giving him eight for the first half, along with 29 points. 

Five days after scoring 60 points against the Atlanta Hawks, Steph Curry is poised for another historic scoring night. At halftime, the Warriors led the Pacers, 70-58.
