Stephen Curry misses four career-high free throws in Game 4 loss to Nuggets
Stephen Curry reveals his “worst feeling in the world” after he missed four free throws in the Game 4 loss to the Nuggets
Denver defeated the Golden State 126-121 in Game 4 of the Warriors-Nuggets series, surprisingly avoiding their elimination from the playoffs.
The most memorable moment of their game? Curry shockingly missed four free throws, a playoff career-high, that could have possibly changed the end result of the game.
Curry: “I missed free throws, and I hate it”
The two-time MVP shared what that feeling was like post game. “I missed free throws, and I hate it,” said Curry. “It’s the worst feeling in the world. It’s what I do really well. Misses were all in-and-outs, pretty much. Two front rims, two in-and-outs. So I know what to correct on that. I’m glad I got there 14 times, which speaks to how I’m feeling physically.”

This was the first time the Warriors star ever missed four free throws during a game. On the other hand, Curry averaged 27.5 points, looking more like himself again since he’s been back from injury on a minutes limit.
And after seeing the 34-year-old’s reaction on the court, it’s likely we will be seeing his free throws back to normal again soon.
"I hate it, it's the worst feeling in the world because it's what I do really well."
