On December 18, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers, and in this game, Curry pulled his hips, and Curry's teammates exploded. Thompson had 28 points, Wiggins had 25, and Paul, Podemski and Kuminga all had excellent performances. Only Curry had a bad performance, scoring seven points on 2-of-12 shooting from the field and 0-of-8 from three-point range. The biggest news of Curry's game wasn't that his performance was slowing down, but that his streak of scoring in 268 consecutive games was broken.
Although there are Curry fans who desperately explain, Curry doesn't care about stats and records. However, judging from Curry's previous and recent statements, Curry obviously cares a lot about data and records, and he has even disregarded the team's wins and losses for the sake of data and records. For example, in this game, the Warriors had a pinch of the opponent before narrowly beating the Trail Blazers, but Curry unreasonably shot a three-pointer, but kept hitting the iron, giving the Trail Blazers a chance to fight back and almost bury the game.
After the game, Curry also slapped Curry fans in the face because he admitted that he cared a lot about records. Curry said that he didn't score a single three-pointer in the course of playing this game, and he felt that this record of consecutive three-pointers was about to be broken. Curry went on to admit: Of course I care a lot about the record, and I want to see if it can be achievedBut now I have to start counting three-pointers again. Lillard has made the most consecutive three-pointers at this stage, with 102 consecutive games.
Interestingly, on the same day that Curry publicly admitted that he cared a lot about records, the record-breaking brother was interviewed and said that if he only cared about records, he couldn't be at his best. Although such a statement does not intentionally imply Curry, it is really a notch higher than Curry's "I care about records very much" remarks.
