Stephen Curry was saving it all up for when it counted most.

In one of the great finishes in pro basketball history, Curry set an NBA record by scoring 17 points in overtime, something never done in a regular-season or postseason game, as the Golden State Warriors rallied past the Portland Trail Blazers.

The previous mark for most points in overtime was 16 by Gilbert Arenas in 2006. The previous playoff record was 13 by Clyde Drexler in 1992.
