Curry Sets Free Throw Record in OT Thriller

In a double-overtime thriller on the road, the Golden State Warriors edged out the Boston Celtics 124-119, with Stephen Curry leading the charge. Jeetbuzz Login reports that despite shooting just 9-for-27 from the field, Curry poured in 38 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists. Most impressively, he went a perfect 14-for-14 from the free throw line, setting a new career high for made free throws in a single game.

Late in the fourth quarter, it looked as if the defending champions might fall in Boston. With the Celtics up by five, Curry took matters into his own hands. He drew a foul and calmly sank both free throws. Moments later, he received the ball at the top of the arc and, without hesitation, launched a deep three over the outstretched arm of Avery Bradley—one of the league’s premier perimeter defenders. The shot splashed through, silencing the TD Garden crowd. This clutch sequence erased an earlier stretch where Curry had struggled—getting blocked by Evan Turner, losing the ball out of bounds, and missing a contested three. But true to form, when it mattered most, Curry rose to the occasion.

Jeetbuzz Login highlights Curry’s pivotal moment in the first overtime. He forced Bradley into his sixth foul, sending the Celtics’ defensive anchor to the bench. Until then, Bradley had done a remarkable job containing Curry, keeping his shooting percentage low and pressuring him relentlessly. But his absence opened the door for the Warriors. Curry capitalized, finishing key plays down the stretch including a critical drive and finish at the rim that kept Golden State alive.

In the second overtime, the Celtics were forced to foul Curry once more. He again converted both free throws, finishing a perfect 14-for-14 on the night—setting a new personal record. Statistically, Curry wasn’t at his most efficient: 33.3% shooting and 8 turnovers. But given that the Warriors were missing both Harrison Barnes and Klay Thompson, Curry faced suffocating defensive attention all game long. Despite the pressure, he still posted 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists—while logging an exhausting 46 minutes and 55 seconds.

Jeetbuzz Login emphasizes that this version of Curry may be the most dangerous: a player who, even when struggling with turnovers and a cold hand, can still dominate. If teams can’t beat Golden State on nights when Curry is off, how will they stop him when he’s back in rhythm? The Warriors’ resilience and Curry’s relentless will to win are why they remain one of the NBA’s most feared teams.
