Stephen Curry Warriors Nets showdown saw him sink a stunning 38-foot buzzer-beater, sealing a thrilling comeback victory. The Golden State Warriors superstar pulled off another impossible shot—this time a 38-foot turnaround three-pointer just before halftime—helping the Warriors rally from a 22-point deficit to beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-119 at Barclays Center.
Curry’s Magic in Brooklyn
With just three seconds left in the second quarter, Jimmy Butler dished a bounce pass to Curry near halfcourt. Without dribbling, Curry turned and launched a deep three over two Nets defenders. The ball swished through the net with 0.3 seconds left, sending Curry sprinting into the Warriors’ locker room with his hand raised.
Even for Stephen Curry Warriors Nets, known for his ridiculous long-range shooting, this one stood out.
“Most people can make that shot, luckily,” Draymond Green said with a laugh. “But we all knew it was going in. It was a huge momentum shifter.”
Curry finished with 40 points, seven three-pointers, and fueled Golden State’s second 20-point comeback since acquiring Jimmy Butler in early February.
Warriors on Fire with Butler
The Warriors wrapped up a 5-game East Coast trip with a 4-1 record, their only loss coming in Philadelphia without Butler. Since his arrival, the team has played with renewed confidence, going 10-1 with Butler in the lineup.
Before acquiring Butler, Golden State was just 1-10 when trailing by 20 or more points. Now, they are 35-28 and sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference, three games behind Houston for fifth.
Curry has been particularly dominant since Butler’s arrival, averaging 30.3 points on 51-44-90 shooting splits, according to ESPN Research.
“Steph just had an incredible trip, putting on a show in every city,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “Every fan base loves him. There’s a reason—he’s an incredible performer.”
Chasing History
Curry’s logo three-pointers have become routine, but even he admitted this one caught him off guard.
“That one’s not in the practice routine,” Curry said with a grin. “I just tried to get it off in rhythm. It surprised me—that’s why I ran straight to the locker room!”
Curry is now just 11 three-pointers away from becoming the first player in NBA history to hit 4,000 career threes.
With Butler and Curry leading the charge, Golden State looks like a serious contender once again.
