Despite a well-rounded performance by all starters of the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 against the Utah Jazz, point guard Stephen Curry stole the show late in the fourth quarter, banking a three-pointer from the corner to get the crowd on its feet.
The reigning MVP couldn't help but turn to his bench and smile, knowing the outcome of his long-range attempt was completely unintentional.

Curry's bank shot was at a near-30-degree angle from the basket, connecting high above the square and dropping swiftly into the net — product of his high-arching shot and follow-through trajectory.
He finished with 23 points on 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc in Thursday's 115-104 win, snatching a sixth straight victory in the postseason and keeping pace with its Eastern Conference rival Cleveland Cavaliers.
