The Golden State Warriors recorded their 50th consecutive home victory on Wednesday night, riding Stephen Curry's 34 points to a 121-85 thumping of the New York Knicks.
Golden State's second consecutive season series sweep of the Knicks capped a perfect six-game homestand and improved the Warriors' home record to 32-0 this season.
The 50-game streak, which dates back to January 2015, is the first in the four major professional American sports.
Topping 30 points for the ninth time in his last 11 games, Curry connected on 12 of his 20 shots and eight of his 13 three-point attempts, including 4 of 7 in the first quarter, during which the Warriors (61-6) built as much as a 13-point lead.
The game was never appreciably closer.
