Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is a magician, and his and-1 play over Boston Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown late in the fourth quarter of their game is proof of that.
With a little over three minutes remaining in the clock and the Warriors down by 10, 106-96, Curry wasted no time and went coast to coast to immediately cut the lead. As Curry drove to the basket in a solo effort, he was met by Brown under the rim.
Avoiding the block, Curry amazingly pulled off a reverse layup. As an added bonus, he was able to get a foul from Brown, who accidentally hit his right arm.

Stephen Curry has been phenomenal for the Warriors despite some early season struggles and an up-and-down performance from the team. Prior to Tuesday's game, Curry was averaging 27.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists. He was also shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 40.3 percent from downtown.




Curry's best game for the Warriors so far came in early January when he scored 62 points against the Portland Trail Blazers, breaking Klay Thompson's single-game scoring record of 60.
Unfortunately for Steph, his efforts against the Celtics were wasted as the Dubs succumbed to a 111-107 defeat. For his part, Curry finished the game with a near triple-double of 38 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
Jaylen Brown, on the other hand, recorded 18 points, 10 boards and four dimes. Jayson Tatum led the Beantown team with 27 points on top of nine rebounds.
Golden State fell to 11-10 with the defeat, though they are still well in contention for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
