Sometimes, it's just not your night. And it wasn't anyone's night for the Warriors against the Grizzlies on Thursday.
Golden State suffered a crushing 144-93 loss to Memphis on the road, not helped by a demoralizing night for star guard Stephen Curry. Curry was held without a field goal for the first time since 2018, and he was joined by Draymond Green in the Warriors' dismal all-around showing.
Andrew Wiggins gave the Warriors some offense with 19 points and 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range, but his performance wasn't nearly enough to overcome a highly uncharacteristic night from his two-time MVP teammate.
Here's a look at Curry's stats from the loss to the Grizzlies.

The other six instances were much more understandable, as Curry played 11 minutes or fewer in each of those previous contests without a made field goal. He played 24 on Thursday, only getting pulled early because the game was so out of reach.
Thursday's loss also marked the first time Curry and Green were held without a field goal in the same game. Adding to the Warriors' troubles was a similarly rough night from new addition Dennis Schroder, who shot just 2-12 from the field.
The Warriors' starting lineup combined for only 28 points, 19 of which came from Wiggins. Curry, meanwhile, made the wrong kind of history:
Steph Curry is the first player in NBA history to:
• Make 0 field goals
• Attempt 7 field goals
• Play at least 24:00
• Lose by 50+ points
Curry entered Thursday averaging 23.0 points per game, his lowest mark in a full season since 2012-13 (he played just five games in 2019-20). Despite the subdued numbers, though, his efficiency has been steady. Curry shot 45.2% from the field through his first 20 games, almost identical to last season's mark, and he is still shooting a touch better from 3-point range than he did last season.
The Warriors (14-12) have faltered since their red-hot start to the year, losing nine of their last 11 games and dropping to 10th in the West as of Thursday night.
