Curry scored 22 points in this iconic performance to lead the Warriors to victory at the Chase Center.
Fans saw Curry dancing in the middle of the court after this short, celebrating the Warriors’ victory. Especially after he missed two three-pointers by 1:48, making it even more memorable. Due to Curry’s history in the NBA, it’s no surprise that he is the one to sink in the game-changing shot.

In response to Stephen Curry hitting his historic buzzer-beater against the Rockets, NBA Twitter gave their reactions. Many tweeted their support to Curry, especially after all the injuries and difficulties he has experienced this season.
From the top of the key, Stephen Curry made a jump shot worth remembering
Following up on an earlier match against the Indiana Pacers where they lost, Curry gave the Warriors extra motivation. Especially now, when they are having difficulties maintaining their top ranking, it was an important victory for them to keep going in full spirit.
When Houston had the back with 11.5 seconds left, the game took a turn. This could result in a tie game of 103. As a result, Garrison Mathews missed a three-pointer and Otto Porter Jr. saved a rebound ahead of the Warriors’ timeout, which made a big difference at the time.

As for the beginning of the game, it wasn’t in favor of the Warriors. When Curry had a single free throw in the first quarter, he missed the first eight shots he took. Yet, within 48.8 seconds of halftime ending, he took the ball and made his first great 3-pointer.
