The Golden State Warriors defeated the Indiana Pacers in a hard-fought contest. It came down to the last seconds, and the Warriors prevailed 102-100. Stephen Curry, who only needed seven three-pointers to overtake Ray Allen for third place on the all-time three-pointers record, had another rough effort. He shot 8-of-20 from the field and 5-of-15 from beyond the arc.
Curry's recent troubles are said to be the result of him forcing shots to break the record. It's also possible that teammates are pressuring him to shoot in order for him to attain the new milestone. Draymond Green expressed his thoughts on the topic after the courageous win.
"It's always a viable option. So you're not trying to cram a square peg into a round hole. That's how we've always played... Do we need to look for him a bit more? Maybe. I know analytics is important, so I'd like an analytical guy to check to see if he's getting the ball more than usual. No, I don't believe so. But, as Draymond Green of the Warriors told ClutchPoints, "we can be better."
Although many individuals aspire to be a part of history, it comes at a cost. Crossing the finish line might be the most difficult part of the road, and Curry and the Warriors are facing that challenge right now. For him and his squad, the previous three games have been a challenge. They are 2-1 in those games, but could easily be 3-0 if they weren't concerned with the score.
Curry will most likely dethrone Ray Allen in New York City tomorrow. The pursuit will come to an end, and the party will begin. The Warriors may then return to their regular schedule and attempt to win an NBA title.
