Curry ties NBA record for worst 3-point shooting night
Stephen Curry laid a dud on the anniversary of a pretty big night.
Monday marked the four-year anniversary of the Golden State Warriors star torching the New York Knicks for a career-high 54 points on 11-of-13 shooting from long range.
Curry's stat line looked a little different against the Philadelphia 76ers this time around:
4 years ago today, Stephen Curry had his highest-scoring game (11-of-13 from 3!)

The reigning back-to-back MVP went 0-for-11 from 3-point territory in Philly, tying the record (held by Trey Burke and Antoine Walker) for most attempts without a make.
It's only the third time in Chef Curry's career that he's taken eight or more threes without hitting a single one. The other instances both came earlier this season, when he went 0-for-10 in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and 0-of-8 during a win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Of course, these nights represent an aberration for perhaps the best 3-point shooter to ever grace the hardwood. Curry entered the game leading the NBA with 231 treys this season, and only three shy of tying Kobe Bryant for 11th all time.
Despite being cold from deep, Curry finished with 19 points on 7-of-23 shooting while chipping in six dimes, four rebounds, and two steals in Golden State's 119-108 victory over the Sixers.
