Stephen Curry’s NBA-record 3-point shooting run came to an end on Sunday night when Klay Thompson scored 28 points, and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 118-114 to win their second straight game.

Curry finished the game 2 for 12 overall, 0 for 8 from 3-point range, and scored seven points. On December 1, 2018, he started the streak in Detroit.

The Warriors’ coach, Steve Kerr, stated, “We can’t rely on Steph to bail us out on every single night.” “It was a difficult evening for him, but that’s the essence of a team, right? Guys standing up every night, each one covering for the other. He’s carried us far enough this year, so that’s a very encouraging indication. We must assist him further.

The NBA career leader, Curry, recently made his 3,500th 3-pointer. The last time he failed to make a 3-pointer was on November 8, 2018, during a regular-season game against Milwaukee, going 0 for 4. At 157 games, he also holds the second-longest NBA streak.

After being removed from the Golden State starting lineup, Andrew Wiggins finished with 25 points and seven rebounds.

He dabbled in a variety of activities. Thompson stated, “Rebound, hit threes, and played above the rim.” “Those are the wigs we adore.”

Kerr remarked, “That looked like old Andrew.” The guy I know is the one.

The Warriors won back-to-back games for the first time since early November, when rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis finished with 14 points and 8 rebounds.

With 30 points, Jerami Grant led Portland. All 21 of Anfernee Simons’ points came in the second half.

With 39 seconds remaining, Portland reduced the lead to 113-111. With 20.9 seconds remaining, Chris Paul’s jumper increased the Warriors’ advantage to 115-11, and with 14.7 seconds remaining, Simon’s 3-pointer brought the score to 115-114.

Regarding Paul, who scored all four of his points in the last 2:26, Thompson remarked, “Chris Paul, what a gamer he is to hit those shots at the end.”

With 0.6 seconds remaining, Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe was penalized for an offensive foul after Curry split a pair of free throws to make the score 116-114. With a timeout remaining, Portland decided not to use it, allowing Sharpe to approach the hoop as Golden State’s Brandin Podziemski was called for the game-winning foul.

“I thought, going in, let’s take a timeout and rebound,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups stated. However, we quickly resolved the issue, and once we launched an offensive, I wasn’t particularly inclined to call a timeout. As soon as the play began, we were unable to make any progress. I would have thrown in a timeout if Shae had ceased attacking. But after he started to assault, I reasoned, “Let the young guy figure it out.”
