Curry’s Uncharacteristic 3-Point Drought Ends in Warriors’ Victory
In a rare turn of events, Stephen Curry, known for his extraordinary 3-point shooting prowess, went 0-of-8 from beyond the arc in the Golden State Warriors’ recent matchup against the Trail Blazers on Sunday night. This marked the first time since November 8, 2018, that Curry failed to make a 3-pointer in a game, a streak that spanned an impressive 268 games.
The last time Curry experienced a 3-point dry spell, hits like “Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott and “Happier” by Marshmello & Bastille dominated the music scene. It coincided with a Warriors loss to the Bucks in 2018. However, Curry’s remarkable streak came to an end in the recent game against the Trail Blazers.
Despite Curry’s unusual off night from long range, he still managed to contribute significantly to the game. Although scoring a season-low seven points on 2-of-12 shooting, Curry showcased his playmaking abilities with eight assists and finished with a team-high +14 in the plus-minus category.
The Warriors, led by Klay Thompson’s 28 points and Andrew Wiggins’ 25 points off the bench, secured the victory over the Trail Blazers. Curry’s supporting cast stepped up to compensate for his scoring dip, highlighting the team’s depth and resilience.
As the Warriors continue their campaign, Curry’s off night serves as a testament to the unpredictable nature of the game, where even a generational shooter like him can face challenges. The team’s ability to secure a win despite Curry’s shooting struggles underscores their adaptability and collective strength.
Warriors fans will undoubtedly anticipate Curry bouncing back in his next outing, looking to rekindle the electrifying 3-point performances that have become synonymous with the two-time NBA MVP’s legacy.
