Steph Curry has made at least five 3-pointers in nine straight games.
Over that stretch, he is 56-for-115 from deep -- a cool 48.7 percent.
Before the hot streak, he was in a funk with his outside shot. In the prior eight games, he went 33-for-104 from 3-point range, an actual cool 31.7 percent.
So how did he bust out of the slump?
"I started wearing contacts," Curry told Marcus Thompson of The Athletic after the Warriors' win over the Nuggets on Tuesday night. "No, I'm serious."
