Surprise: Curry finished a game without 3-pointers after four years

Golden State achieved a key victory in the fifth point of the finals against boston celtics. the warriors they won 104-94 at home, left the series 3-2 and were one win away from their fourth ring in eight years. Unlike the rest of the games in the series, this time the venue did not have Stephen Curry as the main protagonist, but he showed that even without an outstanding performance from his top figure, he has enough category to win the title, which could be defined next Thursday in Boston.

Curry closed out the night with 16 points on 7-of-22 shooting from the field and eight assists. But the most incredible thing about Steph’s performance was her 3-point stat. It is that he is considered the best shooter in the history of the NBA closed the sheet with 0-9 from the perimeter. Yes, after four years, Curry didn’t hit a 3-pointer in a game.

A) Yes, the point guard cut a streak of 233 games in a row with at least one triplea streak that dragged from November 2018 and that it included all the games of the regular season and Playoffs since that year. But if we focus only on the post season, the number is even more compelling. It is that although he had 132 games in a row converting at least one shot from the perimeter, the streak had dragged her since 2013, right from the first playoff game of her career.

“Of course it bothers me as a shooter. You want to impact the game that way. But luckily that’s not the only thing I do on the floor. I think I’ve never been happier after a night without hitting a three-pointer, knowing the context of the game.” Curry assured.

Also, along the same lines, he added: “The fact that everybody stepped up…Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson made some big shots, Draymond Green found his life and his spirit and the way he impact on matches. We were able to take 9-for-40 3-point shooting as a team, and 0-for-9 from me, and still come out with a win.”

“It’s very simple, I’m going to keep shooting,” he acknowledged. “I’m not afraid to stay at zero And when I’ve had games like that, then I’ve responded well”.

The great protagonist on a night in which the Warriors had a forceful collective performance was Andrew Wiggins, with 26 points (12-23 shooting) and 13 rebounds.

“He has accepted the challenge of being consistent and what he is capable of doing on both ends of the floor. In conclusion, he is simply having fun playing basketball. That’s the most important thing,” Curry benched him.

What did Curry say about 3-2 in the Finals?

“We know it’s not going to be easy. We know that in that stadium the atmosphere is completely different. We understand what we need to do. It’s about going out there and executing, trying to lock down your emotions knowing how hard a game it is to close out a series. We had opportunities in previous series that, in the first game to close them, we had some problems. But I think our energy, especially in the last two games, has been incredible.”
