The evening that Stephen Curry broke the Pelicans’ Halloween scoring record

Ah yes, nothing like relaxing after watching Stephen Curry light up the New Orleans Pelicans. And Halloween season is upon us, the time of year where children and adults alike dress in their scariest costumes and exchange sweet candies. It’s also the best time to tell scary stories that curdle the blood and haunt the dreams; horrifying tales of unbelievable terror.

Let’s not forget it was the Pelicans and Anthony Davis who lived through one of moments October 31st, 2015, when he became a helpless victim of the “Halloween Killer”, Stephen Curry.

Curry went into New Orleans that night with a taste for souls, fresh off of his first MVP and championship. That night he went berserk, ripping off 53 points on 17-of-27 shooting from the field, drilling 8-of-14 from beyond the arc, and going a perfect 11-of-11 from the charity stripe. He also tallied 9 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals with only 2 turnovers.

To this day, those 53 points are the highest points scored by any person on Halloween in the history of the NBA.
