Throughout the Golden State Warriors’ road trip in Texas, Steph Curry has been red-hot. Along with a 57 point performance in Dallas, the two-time Most Valuable Player has averaged 39 points on 58.5% shooting from the field with 5.7 assists and four boards over three games in the lone star state.
In the final game of the road trip against the San Antonio Spurs, Curry continued his impressive play. On his way to notching 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting in the first quarter, the six-time All-Star finished a highlight reel layup.
With Lonnie Walker IV and DeMar DeRozan trying to defend him, Curry flipped up an improbable behind-the-back attempt that banked off the backboard and through the rim.
