Stephen Curry tries dunking and fails
Being down, everyone would expect Curry to shoot the Warriors back on top. However, the star is not having a great night. Missing shots and failing to make a big impact so far, the Bay is in visible trouble.
During a play, Curry and Green worked their magic to get a bucket, or at least that is how it was supposed to be. Green received the ball in the post and looked to make a play. Likewise, Curry cut to the basket and Draymond put the ball in his hands. However, Stephen Curry got caught in two places and missed a simple opportunity. He seemed confused about choosing to dunk or finish with the layup and ended up getting neither.
Fans sure had a laugh about the Curry trying to dunk.

The Lakers sure look like a changed squad since the preseason. The James and AD combination is working its magic as they have combined for 38 points at the half. Melo has also added 8 points off the bench. However, Russell Westbrook continues to struggle as he has put up just 2 points on 1/7 shooting.
For the Warriors, Stephen Curry is the top scorer. However, he hasn’t been efficient for them tonight. Apart from him, veteran Andre Iguodala added quick 8 points to his tally throughout the game. Preseason hero, Jordan Poole, is struggling, shooting just 2-8 from the field with 4 points.
