Stephen Curry, the superstar that shines the most in the NBA finals 1:29
(CNN) --
233. That's the number of consecutive NBA games in which Steph Curry has made at least one 3-pointer.
That nearly four-year record came to a shocking end in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, which the Golden State Warriors won 104-94 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. .
Even though Curry went from blazing hot to icy cold in the space of one game—he burned the Celtics for 43 points in Game 4 in Boston—big contributions from Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson helped Golden State to a potentially vital victory.
Now the team is one win away from a fourth title in eight seasons, and Curry's teammate Draymond Green says the point guard will be "alive" and ready to get back to his shooting form in Game 6 on Thursday.

"A win is a win, whether Steph goes 43, 10, four, or goes 16-for-22 shooting, a win is a win," Green told the media.

"Everybody's doing their part ... we found the offense somewhere else, and that's pretty much what it's been," Green added.
"Likewise, if he has it, we're going to be heavy on Steph Curry ... He was 0-for-9 shooting from 3. He's going to be alive heading into Game 6, and that's exactly what we need."
Curry finished Monday night with just 16 points on 7-for-22 shooting and 0-for-9 from 3-point range.

His lack of success from long range was the first time in 133 playoff games that the 34-year-old was unsuccessful from deep.
Afterward, Curry expressed his personal disappointment at the end of the streak, saying he hopes for better in the next game.
"Of course it bothers me as a shooter," Curry said.
"You want to impact the game that way. But luckily that's not the only thing you do on the court.

"Obviously, the trajectory says that I shoot the ball better in the next game. I'm looking forward to that rebound."
Throughout his illustrious career, Curry has won just about everything basketball has to offer.
However, the Finals MVP award has remained illusory until now.
But with his Warriors one game away from completing what would be a remarkable resurgence, Curry is poised to fill the last spot in his already bulging trophy case.
