Steph Curry decided to spend a night on Thursday.

The star guard scored 30 points and made a remarkable 8 of 8 on three-point attempts to help the Golden State Warriors to a 139-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and Dennis Schroder all contributed 15 points to the winning effort while Jonathan Kuminga had 20 points coming off the bench. Yet the star of the day was Curry and his performance was even on a new level for his standards.

His eight consecutive successful three-point attempts were the most of his career, according to the TNT broadcast. It was close to the all-time record of nine consecutive threes, held by Jalen Brunson, Ben Gordon and Latrell Spreewell, according to Derek Bodner of PHLY Sports.

The NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a game without a miss is 9, shared by three players (Jalen Brunson, Ben Gordon and Latrell Sprewell).
Steph Curry is currently 8-8 from 3 as the Warriors hold a 116-86 lead with 8:52 left in the 4th.

He left the game early due to lopsided scoring, but still managed to post a double-double with 10 assists. He also finished with six rebounds, a steal and finished 11 of 15 in overall shooting.

Golden state of mind @imparablebébé

Steph Curry ends the night shooting 8 for 8 from you. It's the most he's ever shot without missing…and the 12th time in his career he's shot 100% from deep.

The Warriors improved to 17-16 with the win while Philadelphia fell to 13-19 with the loss.

Even though Curry's numbers have declined slightly this season, he still remains a cornerstone of the franchise and nights like Thursday show just how dynamic he can be.

He'll look to build on that performance Saturday when the Warriors host the Memphis Grizzlies.
