Stephen Curry’s streak is over

The Golden State Warriors are slowly picking themselves up after a couple of defeats and they won for the second time in a row this time (118:114) on the floor of Portland. However, the record streak of the best shooter from behind the arc Stephen Curry came to an end.

It stopped at 268 games in a row in which he recorded at least one converted three-pointer in a game. A player who has scored more than 22,000 points and made more than 3,500 threes. That streak began on December 1, 2018 and came to a screeching halt against the Blazers.

In Portland, he did not fare well at all, scoring only 7 points and not converting any of his 8 3-point attempts. The last time this happened to him was in November 2018 in a game against Milwaukee. He also holds the second longest streak in NBA history, which stands at 157 games. And he also holds the longest streak in the playoffs, which again stands at 132 games.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr commented on the end of that streak saying. “Steve can’t win every game for us, he’s also just a human being and today he was represented by his teammates.” Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened that many times this season. Most of the time, when the team leader didn’t do well, the Golden State team fell.
