Stephen Curry’s Historic Streak Ends in Warriors’ Victory Over Blazers

The Golden State Warriors, heavily reliant on superstar Stephen Curry’s offensive prowess this season, experienced a rare deviation on Sunday as Curry faced an off night against the Portland Trail Blazers. In an uncharacteristic performance, Curry went 2-of-12 from the field, scoring only seven points, marking his worst scoring night of the season.

Despite Curry’s struggles, his teammates stepped up, with Klay Thompson contributing 28 points and Andrew Wiggins adding 25 off the bench. Young talents Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga also made significant contributions, each reaching double figures and making crucial plays on both ends to secure a 118-114 victory in Portland.

However, the most notable aspect of the game was the end of Curry’s historic streak. Against the Blazers, Curry failed to make a three-pointer, snapping his NBA record streak of 268 consecutive games with at least one made three. This remarkable streak had spanned six seasons, starting on December 1, 2018. Curry’s previous record was 157 consecutive games with a made three-pointer.

Despite the rare off night, the future Hall of Famer will have an opportunity to begin a new streak when the Warriors face the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night in the Bay Area. As one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Curry’s occasional off night serves as a reminder that even the best can face challenges, but it’s the ability to bounce back that defines their greatness.
