During the Warriors practise at the Bulls facility, Curry made 105 back-to-back threes. “I think his previous record was 77. That’s insane,” Kerr said, amazed at Curry's skill. He spoke about the Guinness Book of World Records, thinking that as they now have the video, the 105 shots should be on the book. 

Draymond Green – who has missed three games in a row – also commented on the situation. While he was not on the court when Curry made those threes, he had no doubt his teammate did it.
