Stephen Curry went 0-for-12 from three-point range against the Portland Trail Blazers, ending the NBA's all-time record for most three-pointers made in a single game. Curry scored just seven points in the game, but his teammates Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins scored 28 and 27 point

Stephen Curry's NBA-record 3-pointer streak came to an end on Sunday night when he went 0-for-8 from three-point range in the Golden State Warriors' 118-114 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry, who had been making a 3-pointer in every game since December 1, 2018, had a tough night overall, shooting 2-for-12 from the field and scoring just seven points. He was also 0-for-4 from beyond the arc in a regular-season game on November 8, 2018, against Milwaukee. Despite his struggles, the Warriors still managed to win the game. Curry's teammates stepped up, with Klay Thompson scoring 28 points and Andrew Wiggins adding 27. "We can't rely on Steph to bail us out on every single night," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "It was a tough night for him, but that's what a team is supposed to be about. Everybody filling in for each other, different guys stepping up each night. That's a great sign, because he's carried us for long enough this year. We need to give him more help." The two-time MVP is still the NBA's all-time leader in 3-pointers made, with over 3,500. He also holds the second-longest streak of consecutive games with a 3-pointer made, at 157 games. Kerr is confident that Curry will bounce back from his slump. "Steph is going to be fine," Kerr said. "He's a great shooter, and he's going to make shots. He's just going through a little bit of a tough stretch right now." The Warriors are currently in first place in the Western Conference with a 25-7 record. They will next play on Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz.
