Stephen Curry came up big for the Golden State Warriors when it mattered most. Despite a putrid night from the field, making just 8 of 25 shots, Curry embodied the age-old adage that shooters are always told: Just keep shooting. Not a bad strategy for the greatest shooter of all-time.
Curry danced on Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn and shook him with a side-step move to handily drain a three in his face.

Curry put the cap on an epic comeback performance that culminated in one final run in overtime to take the lead for good. The Warriors overcame two huge deficits that had them playing catch-up for most of the contest. They stared down a 19-point hole in the 1st half. And with just over six minutes left in the final frame, an Andre Iguodala three-pointer put them down by 14 big points.
With Draymond Green out for Golden State, Stephen Curry needed all the help he could get. But the Warriors persevered, thanks to big-time performances from Steph's supporting cast. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins put up 23 points apiece, adding 16 total rebounds as well.
Unsung veteran Kent Bazemore was arguably the best player on the floor for the Warriors in this one. The swingman exploded for 26 off the bench, including multiple clutch buckets that served as counter-punches for whatever the Heat were throwing at them late in the game.
With his squad keeping the team afloat through his cold stretches, Stephen Curry came alive in overtime with two huge threes including the dagger to seal the deal.
