The Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry was unable to score a 3-pointer during his team’s 118-114 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night, bringing an end to a streak of 268 games during which the point guard did so successfully. He went 0-for-8 from 3-point range and 2-for-12 overall.
Apart from holding the longest 3-pointer streak in NBA history, Curry also holds the second-longest streak at 157 games. The last time he went without scoring from the 3-point range was on November 8, 2018, when he went 0-for-4 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
“We can’t rely on Steph to bail us out on every single night,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr remarked after his team’s narrow victory. “It was a tough night for him. But that’s what a team is supposed to be about — everybody filling in for each other, different guys stepping up each night.”
On the back of a two-game winning streak, the Warriors find themselves in 11th place on the Western Conference standings at 12-14. They next face Eastern Conference leaders Boston Celtic on Tuesday night.
