As the records keep piling up for Stephen Curry, he is far from ready to pick a favourite.

There's still too much to accomplish - like that best-ever mark of 72 wins set by the Chicago Bulls, another championship, or maybe the MVP again.

Curry scored 41 points and became the first player in NBA history to make 300 three-pointers in a season as the Golden State Warriors set yet another record by holding off the Orlando Magic 119-113 for their 45th straight home win.

"To have protected our home court 45 straight games in the regular season, it hasn't been done in history, so that's a pretty special accomplishment," Curry said. "That win record is still in reach."

Curry didn't match his 51-point performance against the Magic on February 25 in which he hit 10 of 15 three-pointers, but shot 7 for 13 from long range and also pulled down 13 rebounds. He has 301 three-pointers.

In Cleveland, Tony Allen scored a season-high 26 points as the Memphis Grizzlies, despite playing without four injured starters, stunned the Cavaliers 106-103.

Vince Carter made four free throws in the final 13.4 seconds to steal the upset.

In Indianapolis, Monta Ellis scored 26 points and Paul George added 23 to help Indiana end San Antonio's eight-game winning streak, 99-91.

The Pacers led by double digits most of the night and hung on after San Antonio trimmed the deficit to three several times in the final two minutes.

Chris Paul scored 18 of his 27 points in the third quarter, as the LA Clippers beat the Dallas Mavericks 109-90.

In other games, Chicago beat Milwaukee at home 100-90 and Anthony Davis had 31 points and 10 rebounds to help the New Orleans Pelicans overcome a 17-point second-half deficit to beat Sacramento 115-112.

And Kemba Walker scored 21 of his 34 points in the third quarter as Charlotte held off Minnesota at home for its fourth straight win, 108-103.
