The moment will forever be remembered for Golden State Warriors star Curry against the Houston Rockets in a Game 1 scenario where he gets one of the most insane 3-point shots ever over Jalen Green in the midway third quarter with the Warriors up by 20.
While heavily guarded by Houston’s Jalen Green, Curry just decided to throw in a fall-away three-pointer almost landing into the front row.
Fans were awed and amazed, and one of the fans commented:
“This is the Steph experience,” a fan wrote on X.

All night, the Houston Rockets had been harassing Steph Curry
Steph Curry somehow lost Jalen Green on his way to this particularly epic 3-pointer, which did not seem possible given the defensive pressure. All night, the Houston Rockets had been harassing Curry with rough defense, even sending Amen Thompson to try to contain him, but the Warriors were successful in setting screens and getting Curry free off the ball.
Green could hardly help himself but bearhug Curry after this one. On whole, this play was a testament to Curry’s extraordinary shooting skill, especially under tension and with inventive maneuvering against tight D.
With this show, Curry led all scorers with 31 points, while being 12-for-19 overall and a scorching 5-for-9 from beyond the arc-His signature highlight. Curry himself would say that it was a grind-it-out-type of win.
