Steph Curry is set to accumulate an impressive collection of remarkable last-second shots throughout his career. Undoubtedly, the renowned Golden State Warriors icon has always possessed a knack for the theatrical.
This trend continued on Saturday night when Steph Curry delivered a jaw-dropping buzzer beater, stunning the Phoenix Suns in a pivotal Western Conference showdown with a score of 113-112.
Witness the sheer absurdity of this shot executed by the greatest shooter of all time.
The three-pointers mentioned above were the most crucial of Curry’s 30-point performance, with nine of those points coming from successful three-point shots. And each one of them was indispensable.
With 35 seconds remaining, Phoenix Suns’ star Devin Booker had put his team ahead by a score of 112-110. Although Phoenix managed to make a defensive stop, Bradley Beal’s missed three-pointer as the shot clock expired granted the Warriors possession, setting the stage for Steph Curry’s decisive three-pointer.
Upon viewing this clip, my mind instantly drifts back to the unforgettable buzzer-beater that Steph Curry delivered during a Saturday night primetime game in 2016 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which took place during the Warriors’ historic 73-win season.
In my opinion, that particular buzzer beater stands as the most devilishly cunning one in recent NBA history. However, Suns fans will find no solace in this fact. Losing a game in such a manner surely leaves a bitter taste.
If the Warriors aspire to secure another NBA Championship, Steph Curry will undoubtedly require a multitude of heroic performances in clutch situations.
Steph has been enjoying a remarkable season, averaging 28 points per game with shooting splits of 46% from the field, 42% from beyond the arc, and 90% from the free-throw line. Nevertheless, the regression of his fellow “splash brother,” Klay Thompson, into one of the league’s least efficient players has severely hindered the Warriors’ potential. Currently, they find themselves battling for a spot in the playoffs, occupying the final play-in position in the Western Conference with a record of 25-25.
