One of the best scorers in the NBA has surpassed a record set by one of the greatest scorers in league history.

With a lay-up, Stephen Curry passed Wilt Chamberlain as the all-time leading scorer in Warriors history as he torched the Denver Nuggets for 53 points in their western conference showdown.

Curry, 33, entered the game needing 19 points to surpass Chamberlain.

He needed just 11 minutes to do so, scoring 21 points in the first quarter to take him to 17,786 in his career.

That passed Chamberlain’s 17,783 over six seasons with the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors franchise, a record the NBA great held since 1965.

But Curry wasn’t done there, draining 30 points by half-time before going on to claim his third 50-point haul as Golden State closed out a 116-107 win over the Nuggets.

“To be anywhere near him in any record book or now be on top, it’s surreal and it’s wild,” Curry said of Chamberlain.

“If you grow up in the game of basketball and you hear his name, you know it’s something extremely special, no matter what it is.”

Chamberlain averaged 41.5 points in his 429 games for the Warriors.

Curry, after 745 games, averages 23.9 points.

Utah’s franchise-record 24-game home-winning streak came to an end with Washington Wizards upsetting the hosts 125-121 in Salt Lake City.

Phoenix Suns tied an NBA record with 18 three-pointers in the first half of their 126-120 victory over Houston Rockets, which has them right on the heels of the western conference-leading Jazz.

The defending NBA champions are 5-7 since LeBron James sprained his ankle on March 20 to join fellow All-Star Anthony Davis on the sidelines while the Knicks have won three in a row.
