Title: Stephen Curry’s Historic Drought: Trail Blazers Snap His 268-Game 3-Pointer Streak
Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, who holds the NBA record for the most 3-pointers made in a career, had an unexpected dry spell in their recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers. In a surprising turn of events, Curry failed to connect on a single downtown shot – a first in his astonishing 268 consecutive games.
Curry’s inability to find the mark from beyond the arc allowed Damian Lillard, once a former Blazers guard and currently playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, to claim the title of the active leader in consecutive games with at least one made 3-pointer. Lillard’s impressive streak spans 101 games, dating back to last season.
The last time Curry witnessed such a rare miss was on November 8, 2018, coincidentally, also against the Milwaukee Bucks. It is a testament to his extraordinary shooting abilities that he maintained such a remarkable 3-pointer streak until now.
The game against the Trail Blazers was a tough one for Curry overall, as he struggled with his shooting throughout. Managing only 2 of 12 from the field and missing all eight of his 3-point attempts, Curry’s lackluster performance only yielded a total of seven points for the game.
This disappointing outcome marks the first time in a while that Curry has been held to single digits. The previous instance occurred on March 12, 2022, in a match against the same Milwaukee Bucks, where he managed just eight points.
Looking ahead, Curry will have a swift opportunity to redeem himself and regain his explosive shooting form. The Golden State Warriors will face off against the Portland Trail Blazers once again this Saturday, offering Curry a chance to silence his critics and restart his remarkable 3-point streak.
As the Warriors’ sharpshooter steps back onto the court, all eyes will be on him, waiting to see if he can reclaim his 3-point prowess and initiate another awe-inspiring run of consecutive games with at least one shot from downtown. Fans eagerly anticipate witnessing the potential resurrection of Curry’s legendary long-distance shooting abilities that have elevated him to an iconic status within the league.
