The Warriors defeated the Celtics 104-94 in the fifth game of the series to take a 3-2 lead. There are two minutes left in the game.
Stephen Curry's streak of 233 consecutive games with a made 3-pointer came to an end in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Curry went 0-for-9 from 3, but the Golden State Warriors picked up their star and won a crucial game over the Boston Celtics.
Curry made a 3-pointer over the regular season and playoffs to extend his streak to 233 games. He will return to Boston on Thursday to try to win another world title.
Draymond Green said a win is a win regardless of whether or not Stephen Curry shoots 16-for-22.
Is that correct? He was 0 for 9. We need him to be livid going into Game 6.
Curry hasn't hit a 3-pointer in nine games. His track record includes bouncing back from rare outings. After not making a 3 in a game, the most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history has averaged 4.5 3-pointers per game and 42% shooting in the next game. The NBA record for 3-pointers in a game was 13 against New Orleans.
Curry has not made a 3 in a game in over a year.
When he comes off a game like this one, Curry says to keep shooting. It's very easy. I'm not afraid to go 0-for-whatever because I'm going to keep shooting and taking shots that I know I can make. When I've had games like that, I've responded well.
I have never been happier after a 0-for-whatever type of night, just knowing the context of the game, the other ways you tried to impact the game and the fact that you had four guys step up in meaningful ways.
If the Warriors win the NBA Finals, Curry will trade the streak for a victory.
He was happy to see Andrew Wiggins get a double-double for the second game in a row, finishing with 26 points and 13 rebound. Klay Thompson made five 3-pointers and finished with 21 points.
Thompson said that they are never stressed about No. 30. It was hard to imagine that he could have a bad night because he has done so much. I'm pretty sure he'll reply. He is one of the best competitors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He's also a perfectionist. He's going to be thinking about the shots he missed. It's a good thing, because most of the time, he goes to the mean, and it's frightening.
In the regular season and playoffs, Curry has made a 3-pointer in 233 and 199 games. Jordan has played 101 games in a row.
Thompson said that the man is a magician. He redefined what the point guard position can do.
Even though Curry's streak was snapped, he was still sending a message in his postgame news conference when he showed up to the podium wearing a T-shirt that said "Ayesha Curry CAN Cook." The message "AYESHA CURRY CAN'T COOK" was written on a board outside of the establishment.
Chef Curry cooking is something Boston doesn't want to see in the game. Curry said there was a fire after the game.
Curry said it bothered him as a shooters. You want to make a difference. You do other things on the court.
Curry said that he shoots the ball better the next game. I'm looking forward to that bounce back.
