Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry ‘s 11-game streak of scoring at least 30 points ended Wednesday night during a 118-114 loss to the Washington Wizards.
Curry shot 7-for-25 from the field including a season-worst 2-for-14 from beyond the arc and finished with 18 points.
Despite the loss and the poor performance in Washington, Curry said he was proud of what he accomplished over the past month.
“It was a great run,” Curry said after the game. “It was something that hadn’t been done before.
“It was going to end at some point. Now you got to start another one. So it’s just a matter of the next-play mentality.
“Just try to get rejuvenated when we go home — to do it home, road, some big games, put a streak together.
“It was a special ride, for sure. And never really get too hyped up on individual streaks or accolades like that.
“There were some historical names that I was able to pass. And doing something at this age was pretty special.”
Stephen Curry became the first player since Kobe Bryant to score at least 30 points in 10 straight games.
And he also became the oldest player in league history at age 33 to score at least 30 in 11 straight games.
That was after dropping in 49 points in Monday’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Curry never seemed surprised by the historic numbers he continued to put up.
“Peaking at the right time,” he said when asked why he has maintained such a high level of play over the past month.
“Usually the trend of our seasons, or my seasons, getting better as each game goes, so I’m glad this season’s no different.
“Just trying to continue to get better and build that confidence of playing my best basketball towards the end of the season.”
Even after Wednesday’s off night, Curry is still shooting 54.9% from the field and averaging 40.8 points a game during 11 games in April.
