On Sunday night, Steph Curry’s amazing three-point shooting streak came to an end as the Warriors star missed his first three-point shot in five years.
Curry’s career came to an end when Golden State defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 118-114, ending his incredible 268-game streak that began in November 2018.
Overall, the 35-year-old had a miserable night as he scored seven points but only went two for 12 overall and 0 for 8 from three-point range.
Curry was 0 for 4 against Milwaukee on November 8, 2018, a regular-season game at Detroit, when he last went without one. At 157 games, he also holds the second-longest NBA streak.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr stated, “We can’t rely on Steph to bail us out every single night.”
“It was a difficult evening for him, but that’s the essence of a team,” Guys standing up every night, each one covering for the other.
“That’s a very positive indication, as he has supported us sufficiently this year.” We must assist him further.
One game before the Warriors won the championship, in Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals versus Boston, the two-time MVP missed all nine of his 3-point tries. Another NBA record, Curry had made one in his previous 132 postseason games.
After being removed from the Golden State starting lineup, Andrew Wiggins finished with 25 points and seven rebounds. Klay Thompson, who scored 28 points, was also present.
The Warriors won back-to-back games for the first time since early November, when rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis finished with 14 points and 8 rebounds.
