Steve Kerr was happy that other players stepped up as Stephen Curry's NBA record for successive games with a made 3-pointer ended on Sunday.
The Warriors beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-114, but Curry was unable to make any shots from distance.
It ended his record run of 268 games with a successful 3-pointer, as the 35-year-old went 0-for-8 from range. It was the first time he failed to make a 3-pointer in a regulation game since November 8, 2018.
Curry had shot 6-of-8 from 3-point range in a win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, and is the all-time leader in that regard, with 3,505 3-pointers across his career.
But coach Kerr knows the Warriors must not be so reliant on the two-time league MVP.
"We can't rely on Steph to bail us out on every single night," Kerr said.
"It was a tough night for him. But that's what a team is supposed to be about, everybody filling in for each other, different guys stepping up each night.
"That's a great sign, because he's carried us for long enough this year. We need to give him more help."
Curry had just seven points from 31 minutes on the court, but Klay Thompson delivered for the Warriors with 28 points, while Andrew Wiggins contributed 25 from the bench.
Jerami Grant led the game for Portland, with 30 points, while also chipping in with seven rebounds and six assists.
"I feel great, trying to be efficient every night, that’s the goal," Thompson said in an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area.
"Not scoring 50, but just making the most [of chances], taking the shots, and I think I just did well from the last game. Just a great all-round effort."
