The shot is definitely one of the most glorious plays ever made in the NBA. The distance, the timing, and the jump were all executed to perfection by Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry scores 46 points with record 12- 3 pointers
To weigh in about that shot, let’s go back to February 27, 2016, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. It’s 4th quarter, Warriors are trailing by nine with less than 3.40 minutes to go. Enter clutch Stephen Curry and that great defense from Warrior. Match gets tie at 103-103. Overtime kicks in. Stephen Curry rises to the occasion with five minutes added to the clock. He dishes out two back to back 3s and then proceeds to break his season record of 3 pointers (which is still a record: 402). But the opposition duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are also in no mood to give up the match.
