The Golden State Warriors are currently facing the Houston Rockets in the first round of the NBA playoffs, led by a big three of Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.
Golden State entered the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the West, having to match up against the No. 2 Rockets, but a Game 1 victory for the Warriors helped them steal home-court advantage.
On Saturday, the Warriors entered Game 3 against the Rockets with the series tied at 1-1, playing their first matchup at Chase Center.
Just before tip-off, the Warriors’ official social media account dropped a historic note on Curry.
The Warriors’ guard is playing in his 150th career playoff game, becoming the third player in franchise history to achieve the feat, following Green and Klay Thompson.
“150th career playoff game tonight for No. 30,” posted the official social media account of the Golden State Warriors. “He becomes the third Warrior in franchise history to reach the milestone.”
Curry has been wreaking havoc with the Golden State Warriors for quite some time. Aside from previously being named the league MVP, he’s also brought the franchise four NBA titles, having led a dynasty in Golden State for much of the last decade.
Throughout the season, the Warriors guard has averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game.
