Stephen Curry 3 point streak is officially over😔💔
How many times in a game has Steph Curry missed a 3-point shot? More in-depth look after going 0-for-8 against the Blazers
Steph Curry, the star point guard for the Golden State Warriors, broke his record-setting 268-game run of making at least one 3-pointer on Sunday. The two-time MVP scored seven points and shot just 2 of 12 (16.7%) from the field, including 0 of 8 from deep, as Golden State вєαт the Trail Blazers 118–114.
Curry hadn’t missed a three-point shot in a regular season game since November 8, 2018, when the Warriors lost 134–111 to the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored 10 points in that game by making 5 of 14 shots (35.7%), but he missed all 4 of his three-point shots.
But Curry hasn’t made a 3 very often in the last five or so years. It happened a lot more often in the beginning of his career. In 15 years, the four-time NBA winner has played 40 regular season games and one playoff game without making a three-point shot.
Of those 40 games, 31 were played in Curry’s first four years as coach, from 2009–10 to 2012–13. He almost never goes without a make from deep since he 𝔥𝔦𝔱 his prime.
Curry’s only playoff game without a made three-pointer was Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals, which he played against the Boston Celtics. He scored 16 points, but only made 7 of 22 shots (31.8%) and 0 of 9 from beyond the arc as the Warriors won 104–94.
But because it was a playoff game, Curry’s run from the regular season didn’t change.
Warriors win their second straight game even though Steph Curry didn’t play.
