Stephen Curry Ends Remarkable 268-Game Streak: Zero 3-Pointers in Warriors’ Victory Against Trail Blazers

Stephen Curry’s remarkable streak has come to an end. The renowned sharpshooter of the Golden State Warriors failed to sink a single 3-pointer in their 118-114 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night, marking his first regular-season game without a successful long-range shot since 2018.

His last regular-season game without a made 3-pointer dates back to November 8, 2018, when he missed all four attempts from behind the arc in a match against the Milwaukee Bucks. This concludes a streak of 268 consecutive games with at least one made 3-pointer, setting a new NBA record.

Even in the playoffs, Curry’s prowess from beyond the arc remained consistent until Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals, where he surprisingly went 0-of-9 from long range in a game the Warriors still managed to win. Throughout his career, dating back to 2013, Curry has only had 10 games without a made 3-pointer.

Curry had previously set the all-time record with a streak of 157 consecutive games with a made 3-pointer from 2014 to 2016, surpassing Kyle Korver’s previous mark of 127 games. With a career total of 3,505 3-pointers made, Curry solidifies his place as the greatest shooter in NBA history.

Stephen Curry had gone 268 games with at least one made 3-pointer before Sunday night, which was the longest streak in NBA history.

With Stephen Curry’s streak halted, Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard now assumes the mantle as the active leader with 101 consecutive games featuring at least one made 3-pointer. Following closely behind is Cameron Johnson, with 50 games to his name.

In Sunday night’s victory at the Moda Center, Stephen Curry struggled offensively, finishing with just seven points on 2-of-12 shooting from the field. Despite his scoring woes, he contributed eight assists and two rebounds. Klay Thompson led the Golden State Warriors with 28 points, while Andrew Wiggins added 25 points off the bench. Thompson and Wiggins combined for nine of the team’s 13 3-pointers in the win.

At 35 years old, Curry is currently averaging 29 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game in his 15th NBA season. His scoring average includes an impressive five made 3-pointers per game, nearing his career-high mark.
