Curry Breaks Record for Consecutive Playoff Games with 3-Pointer Made

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry continued to rewrite the NBA record book during Monday’s 108-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, this time by becoming the first player in NBA history to make a three-pointer in 45 straight playoff games, per NBA on Twitter.

Previously, the record belonged to Reggie Miller, whose own 44-game streak commenced May 13, 1995, on a night the Indiana Pacers toppled the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Nearly five years later, on May 1, 2000, the Hall of Famer failed to convert both of his shot attempts from beyond the arc in a first-round loss to a Milwaukee Bucks team that was led by another legendary sharpshooter, Ray Allen.

Fast-forward to April 20, 2013, when the Warriors faced the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of a first-round series. Curry made four three-pointers in the contest, and he's made at least one in each of his subsequent 44 playoff appearances.

Earlier this season, he broke Kyle Korver's old record of 127 consecutive regular-season games with at least one three-pointer made. Naturally, Curry has since extended the streak to 152 and counting.

It seems he's destined to eventually own every key record involving three-pointers, having just broken his own single-season records for both treys made (402) and attempted (886).

Curry is already up to 19th on the all-time list with 1,593 career three-pointers made in the regular season.
