Steph Curry continues love affair with Madison Square Garden

In a world of uncertainties, you can always count on Stephen Curry putting on a show at Madison Square Garden.

On Tuesday, Curry erupted for 28 points as the Warriors overcame a double-digit deficit to beat the Knicks 114-102. In the process, Curry extended his win-loss record at the world's most famous arena to 12-1, dating back to his triple-double against the Knicks on Feb. 28, 2014.

Incidentally, Curry's only career loss at MSG came when he dropped a then-career-high 54 points on Feb. 27, 2013, in a 109-105 defeat. Since that performance, he has enjoyed a series of iconic moments at MSG, including becoming the NBA's all-time 3PM leader in 2021.

Curry's love affair with MSG began even before he entered the NBA. In Dec. 2008, he scored 12 of his team's final 14 points, including a buzzer-beater in the clutch, to power Davidson to a win over West Virginia.

Overall, Curry is 13-1 at MSG. As a pro, he has averaged 26.2 points, including 65 made threes, at staggering 48/49/88 shooting splits.

After his latest outburst, Curry explained why the energy in MSG propels his game to new heights.

"It's Madison Square Garden. It speaks for itself," Curry said via NBC Sports' Natalie Esquire. "This is a place that naturally has great, unique, authentic basketball energy. The fans are unreal. The who's who of celebrity row and all that. But, just, everybody is anticipating great basketball. From my first game here in college to now, it's always delivered. For us in the Western Conference, we only get one chance [per season] here. You try to make the most of it."

With Curry turning 37 in a few weeks, he may not get many more opportunities to enthrall fans in New York. In the meantime, he continues to position the Warriors (34-28) as a legitimate threat to make a deep postseason run this year.
