The Golden State Warriors won a challenging game against the Indiana Pacers. It went down to the wire, and the Warriors won 102-100. It was also another difficult outing for Stephen Curry, who only needed seven threes to pass Ray Allen on the all-time three-pointers list. He was 8-of-20 from the field and made 5-of-15 from deep.
Most believe Curry's struggles as of late come from him forcing shots to break the record. It could also be from teammates forcing him to shoot because they want him to reach the new milestone. Draymond Green gave his opinion on the matter after the gutsy win.
“That's always a good option. So it's not like you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. We play that way anyway…Are we looking for him a little more? Maybe. I know analytics is heavy, so I would love for an analytical guy to see if he's getting the ball more than he normally does. I don't really think so. But in saying that, we can be better,” Warriors veteran Draymond Green told ClutchPoints.

Although history is something people want to be a part of, it comes at a price. Crossing the finish line can be the most challenging part of the journey, and that's what Curry and the Warriors are experiencing. The last three games have been a struggle for him and his team. They are 2-1 in those games but might be 3-0 if they weren't thinking about the record.

Curry will likely dethrone Ray Allen tomorrow in New York City. The chase will finally be over, and the celebration will begin. Then the Warriors can get back to their ordinary routine and try to win an NBA championship.
