PORTLAND, Ore. — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry hit 12 3-pointers and scored 48 points during Sunday night’s 136-131 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. It marked the fifth time in Curry’s career that he has hit at least 12 3s in a game. Dallas Mavericks swingman and Curry’s former Warriors backcourt-mate Klay Thompson is next on that list with three such games.
Sunday marked the 16th time Curry has hit at least 11 3s in a game. Thompson and Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard are next on that list with four such performances.
The game also marked the 28th time in Curry’s career that he has hit at least 10 3-pointers. Thompson is next on that list as well with nine such outings.

Sunday’s performance was quintessential Curry as he rained down 3s from all over the floor. Curry, who finished the night 16 of 26 from the field and 12 of 19 from beyond the arc, was in rhythm throughout the night as evidenced by the several times he took a shot and then started running the other way down the floor before the ball was through the net. Curry finished with 21 fourth-quarter points, the 44th time in his career he’s had at least 20 points in a quarter.
He finished with 33 points in the second half. Curry’s 12 3-pointers are the most by any player in a game this season.
The attempt that will likely stick with Curry the most, though, is a running layup he missed on a drive to the rim with about 26 seconds left that would have given the Warriors the lead. Curry drove to the rim but couldn’t get the shot to fall — then he stared into the distance in disbelief that he couldn’t get that shot to fall. On the next Warriors possession, with the Blazers clinging to a three-point lead, Curry got trapped and turned the ball over while trying to pass to Draymond Green.
After missing five straight games because of a quad injury, Curry scored 39 points in Friday night’s loss to a Minnesota Timberwolves team playing without Anthony Edwards. The Warriors have struggled to find consistency all season, but they will rue these two losses in particular because they weren’t able to take advantage of Curry’s brilliance.
