"It was a great run," Curry said to reporters after the loss. "It was something that hadn't been done before. It was going to end at some point. Now you got to start another one. So it's just a matter of the next-play mentality. Just try to get rejuvenated when we go home -- to do it home, road, some big games, put a streak together.
"It was a special ride, for sure. And never really get too hyped up on individual streaks or accolades like that. There were some historical names that I was able to pass. And doing something at this age was pretty special."
Along the way, Curry passed historic names like Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and Chris Mullin in the record books. He passed Kobe for the most consecutive games with at least 30 points for a player 33 years old or older.
Don't expect Curry to go cold for long.
