How many times has Steph Curry failed to make a 3-pointer in a game? Closer look after 0-for-8 night against Blazers

Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry had his historic 268-game streak with at least one made 3-pointer snapped on Sunday. The two-time MVP finished with seven points on 2-for-12 (16.7%) shooting, including 0-for-8 from deep as Golden State defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 118-114.

The game marked Curry’s first regular season game without a made 3 since the Warriors’ 134-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 8, 2018. In that game, he finished with 10 points on 5-for-14 shooting (35.7%), while going 0-for-4 from deep.

However, while Curry not making a 3 has been extremely rare the past five-plus years, it happened far more often early on in his career. Over 15 seasons, the four-time NBA champion has 40 regular season games and one playoff game without a made 3.

Of those 40 games, 31 came during Curry’s first four seasons (2009-10 to 2012-13). So, since entering his prime, he seldom goes without a make from deep.

As for Curry’s lone playoff game without a made 3, that came during Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. He finished with 16 points on 7-for-22 (31.8%) shooting while going 0-for-9 from deep as the Warriors secured a 104-94 victory.

However, given that it was a playoff game, it didn’t impact Curry’s regular-season streak.
