Curry missed all of his 9 3-pointers in Game 5 to end the longest streak in the NBA history, but it did not matter in the end as the Warriors prevailed by finding different ways.

The other Splash Brother, Klay Thompson has made 5 3-pointers in 11 attempts, while Jordan Poole has made 3 out of 6 from the deep range.

As a team Warriors shot just 9 of 40 from the 3-point line, but it was enough thanks to great defense and finding other ways to score. Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 26 points, but also missed all of his 6 3-pointers.

All-Time NBA leader in 3-pointers made, Curry finished the game with 16 points, 8 assists, and 3 rebounds.

With Game 6 set for Thursday at TD Garden in Boston, Curry will have to look to start a new streak.
