The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers battled it out on Friday in a matchup that was anything but short of intensity. Dubs veteran Kent Bazemore hit a key three-pointer at a critical juncture in the fourth period, which prompted Warriors superstar Stephen Curry to celebrate quite audaciously on the sidelines.

Here's a look at Bazemore's triple followed by the former back-to-back MVP praising the three-point gods:

Bazemore hasn't exactly been one of Golden State's key guys this season, but he's been ready when called upon. A testament to this fact is this big shot in the fourth and final period to give the Warriors a more comfortable cushion against a favored Clippers side.

In the end, Golden State emerged with a huge 115-105 victory over Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. For his part, Curry had another scoring outburst for the Dubs, logging 38 points on 13-of-24 shooting and 3-of-3 from the charity stripe, to go along with two rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and two turnovers in 36 minutes of play. Amazingly, the six-time All-Star drained no less than nine triples in this one. Safe to say, he'll also be thanking the three-point gods after another stellar shooting night for himself from distance.
