Stephen Curry hits impossible 3 to send Warriors-Pelicans to overtime
Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
Stephen Curry got two chances. He missed the first and delivered on the second.
The New Orleans Pelicans had Game 3 in the bag. In front of a crazy home crowd, the Pelicans led by 20 points at the start fourth quarter. With 5:50 left, New Orleans led by 17 points. That’s when Golden State went on an incredible run powered by a small ball lineup. Curry sent it to overtime, where the Warriors would win 123-119.
This Curry shot is going to be remembered for a long time. Like, how is this possible?

Well, that was fun. GSW came back from 415-1 odds. http://t.co/oNO4dzlOv3 #GSWvsNOP pic.twitter.com/xcKEVjjkAx

I don't even know how that Curry 3 was possible. It wasn't physics

— Holly MacKenzie (@stackmack) April 24, 2015 Curry finished the night with 40 points and nine assists on 10-of-29 shooting from the field and 7-of-18 shooting from three-point range. The Warriors out-scored the Pelicans 39-19 in the fourth quarter to force OT. What a game.
