Steph Curry Has Zero Threes In A Game For First Time Since 2018

The Golden State Warriors have, by their standards, been struggling so far this season. Steph Curry has generally been his usual self, and is the key reason why the team has been able to have any semblance of success over the first two months of the season. The rest of the supporting cast has struggled, most notably with Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins. But Thompson has come on strong in recent games as the Warriors have won two in a row, and his services were especially needed on Sunday night with Curry having one of his worst showings in recent memory.

Steph Curry Goes Three Point-Less For First Time Since 2018

Stephen Curry’s streak of 268 consecutive games with a made 3-pt FG comes to an end in Portland (0-8). That was the longest streak in NBA history.

Just one night prior, Steph Curry was the hero against the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 12 straight points in the 4th quarter to finish with 37 total, and Golden State came out with a much-needed victory.

But the story was the opposite against the Trail Blazers. While Thompson dropped a team-high 28 on 5 for 10 from deep, Curry somehow finished with just 7 total points. He shot 12 times from the field and only made two, neither of which was a three pointer. He went 0 for 8 from deep, the first time that the greatest shooter ever went three point-less since November 8th, 2018.

7 points is the lowest total for Steph Curry in a game in which he played 30+ minutes since 2011.

Warriors Will Need Full Performances To Get Back Into Race
