Stephen Curry continues to prove why he's considered the greatest shooter, and one of the most efficient scorers in NBA history, on a nightly basis. On Monday night, Curry and the Golden State Warriors hosted the Utah Jazz, with the Warriors looking to reach double-digit wins on the season.

Curry, now in NBA season No. 17, put on yet another impressive scoring display, helping lead the Warriors to a 134-117 blowout win over the Jazz. Curry and his Warriors were so efficient on Monday, the 37-year-old superstar was able to watch much of the fourth quarter from the bench, with his team holding a comfortable, double-digit lead.

Steph Curry Breaks NBA Record vs. Jazz on Monday Night

During his time spent on the court, however, Curry was in his typical sharp-shooting form. Curry finished with 31 points, in 29 minutes played, on 12-for-24 shooting from the field, including 6-for-17 from 3-point range. In the process, Curry made NBA history, as he now has the most 30-point games, while playing under 30 total minutes, of all-time.

As per @PolymarketHoops on X, this the thirtieth time Curry has scored at least 30 points in under 30 minutes.

Curry holds numerous NBA records, the majority of which are related to his impressive shooting prowess, however, Curry has become adept at scoring from all areas on a basketball court.

Curry has now scored at least 30 points in three consecutive games and five out of his last six (including two 40-point performances). And Monday night was the second time he's scored at least 30 points in under 30 minutes on the young season. He dropped 35 points on the Portland Trail Blazers in 27 total minutes played back on Friday, Oct. 24.

Curry is now averaging 28.8 points per game over his 15 games played so far this season. The Warriors hold a 10-9 record, and currently sit in the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference. While Curry's hot scoring-streak continues, he has been asked to do battle without the services of Draymond Green (foot), Jonathan Kuminga (knee), De'Anthony Melton (knee), and Al Horford (sciatica).

Green is listed as day-to-day while Horford is expected to miss approximately three total games. Melton and Kuminga both remain without a timetable to return to game action.

Curry's next opportunity to score 30 points or more in under 30 minutes will come on Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. EDT on ESPN, at home, against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are currently 11-4 and sit in the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference following a win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.
