OAKLAND -- In scoring a game-high 29 points Monday night, Stephen Curry lifted the Warriors to a 123-103 win over the Phoenix Suns while simultaneously putting shine on the family name.

The Currys -- Stephen and his father, Dell -- moved past the duo of Dolph and Danny Schayes and into second place on the NBA's all-time list for father-son combos.

The Currys have combined for 27,226 points, passing the Schayeses (27,218) and trailing only Joe and Kobe Bryant (38,895) on the career combo scoring list.

“It’s pretty special,” Curry said. “I know what my dad in his career, for 16 years, so this is him passing the torch to me.

“And I’m going to try to talk to the rules committee to see if we can get Seth Curry’s numbers in there, too."

Dell Curry retired in 2002 with 12,670 points. Stephen Curry now has 14,556, and Seth Curry has 1,217.

“That's the power of strength in numbers right there," Steph said. "Let’s see if we can catch Kobe and his dad.”
