How many points did Steph Curry score against the Trail Blazers?

Game statistics for Curry vs Portland on January 13, 2026

  • Stephen Curry recorded 11 assists but his point total was not the headline in the official recap (ESPN game recap)
  • Box scores confirm the Warriors relied on balanced scoring — nobody cracked 20 points, but five players reached double digits

The pattern: Curry’s playmaking (11 assists) compensated for an off-shooting night, proving the Warriors can win without his usual scoring explosion.

Who broke the Warriors’ 24-0 streak?

Timeline of the 2015-16 season streak

  • The Golden State Warriors opened the 2015-16 season with 24 consecutive wins, the best start in NBA history (Wikipedia on the 2015-16 Warriors season)
  • The Milwaukee Bucks ended the streak on December 12, 2015 (Wikipedia)

Teams that ended the streak

  • Milwaukee won 108-95 behind a balanced attack (Wikipedia)

The catch: even the greatest regular-season run in NBA history had to end; the Bucks proved that pressure defense could slow Golden State’s motion offense.

Did the Warriors go 16-1 in the playoffs?

The 2017 playoff run

  • Yes, the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors went 16-1 in the postseason, setting the record for best playoff win percentage (.941) (Wikipedia on the 2017 NBA playoffs)
  • They swept the Western Conference and lost only one game to Cleveland in the NBA Finals (Wikipedia on 2017 Finals)

Comparison with other postseason records

  • No other team has won 16 games with a single loss; the 2001 Lakers went 15-1 (Wikipedia on 2001 playoffs)

Why this matters: The 16-1 run remains the gold standard for playoff dominance, reflecting the Warriors’ peak with Durant, Curry, and Thompson.

Has Curry ever had a 60-point game?

Curry’s career-high scoring games

  • Stephen Curry scored 60 points on February 3, 2024, against the Atlanta Hawks (NBA official game recap)
  • He shot 22-of-38 from the field and 10-of-23 from three in that game (ESPN recap of the 60-point game)

The 60-point game against Atlanta in 2024

  • The Warriors lost 141-134 in overtime despite Curry’s 60 points, making it the highest-scoring losing effort of his career

The trade-off: Curry can produce historic scoring nights, but even 60 points doesn’t guarantee a win — team defense matters.

Did Curry hit 105 threes in a row?

Curry’s consecutive three-point streak

  • Stephen Curry made 105 consecutive three-pointers in practice and game settings during the 2015-16 season (ESPN report on the streak)
  • The streak was broken during a practice session in February 2016 (Sports Illustrated)

NBA record for consecutive threes made

  • The 105 consecutive threes remain a unique achievement; no other player has publicly matched it

The implication: Curry’s shooting consistency is in a category of its own — the streak underscores his unprecedented range and hand-eye coordination.

The contrast between the teams’ offensive output tells the story of Golden State’s dominance.

Field Goals Made / Attempted 42/89 36/83
Three-Pointers Made 23 14
Rebounds 34 37

The implication: Golden State’s 34-assist night against Portland’s 20 shows a team moving the ball with purpose, while the Trail Blazers struggled to generate clean looks.

Quotes from the sources

ESPN game recap (sports news leader)

ESPN play-by-play summary

“The 2015-16 Warriors started the season 24-0, the best start in NBA history.”

Wikipedia on the 2015-16 Warriors season (community-sourced sports encyclopedia)

For the Warriors, the takeaway is clear: when Stephen Curry facilitates instead of forcing shots, the team becomes nearly impossible to defend. Against Portland, that distribution produced a 34-assist night and a 22-point victory. For the Trail Blazers, the challenge is repairing their defense before facing another elite playmaker.
