There is no doubt that Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is one of the greatest NBA stars of all time but even he has rough patches every once in a while.
Curry is currently pushing through a rocky road, as noted by ClutchPoints.
They brought up the fact that Curry has shot below 36% from the field in four of his last five games.
It all started on February 15, when he went 4-of-14 from the field.
That was followed by a 50% game on February 22, then him going 5-of-14, 6-of-19, and finally 6-of-21 on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards.

People are wondering if Curry will break out of this slump but the Warriors have actually done quite well even with him struggling.
They won four of those five games, only falling to the reigning champion Denver Nuggets during that time.
That’s obviously good news for the Warriors because it shows the team is still capable of finding success even if their biggest star isn’t playing well.
And although Curry has been having problems with his shooting, he has still been posting an impressive amount of assists and has maintained a positive plus-minus rating in three of those five games as well.
In other words, he is still helping the team, just not in the most obvious ways.
The Warriors are in the midst of a four-game road trip.
They just beat the Washington Wizards and will next face the New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, and Boston Celtics over the next few days.
Like all NBA stars, Curry has been in rough patches before and he has always pulled himself out of them.
And while the team has been surviving without Curry’s excellent shooting, they definitely want him back in fine form as soon as possible because they are still the tenth team in the West.
