Steph Curry is one of the game’s all-time great shooters. Maybe the best of all-time.
And he added another incredible 3-pointer to his long list of legendary shots at the end of the second quarter in Golden State’s 121-119 victory over Brooklyn on Thursday.
Curry made a turnaround, slight fadeaway 38-foot 3-pointer from the edge of the halfcourt logo at the halftime buzzer, cutting Brooklyn’s lead to 60-55 and setting up the Warriors’ comeback victory after trailing 27-5.
The buzzer-beater was part of Curry’s 40-point effort, and his corner 3 with 1:01 remaining put Golden State ahead 119-109 and prompted Curry to display his “Night, night head on the pillow” gesture.
The Warriors are 35-38 and in sixth place in the Western Conference. They have won 13 of their past 18 games and are 9-2 since Jimmy Butler joined the lineup at the trade deadline. Butler scored 25 points in the road victory against the Nets and has helped the Warriors climb from 10th place to sixth in a month.
