“I Finally Got One!!”: Warriors’ Stephen Curry Breathes Sigh of Relief After Historic Buzzer-Beating Game-Winner vs Rockets

Stephen Curry took to Instagram to share his joy as he made his career’s first buzzer beater. Curry was the Warrior’s knight in shining armour against the Houston Rockets on Friday night at the Chase Center. Despite having a poor shooting performance amidst one of his careers’ worst scoring slumps, he came through with the big shot in the end.

Curry exclaimed “I got finally one!!” on Instagram, as he made his career’s first buzzer beater among 8 of his career game-winning shots. A buzzer beater is by far the toughest shot that a player can make, releasing the shot with seconds on the clock and making the basket after the buzzer goes off.

How is Stephen Curry doing in the Warriors right now?

Chef Curry was 0-for-11 on the floor in the first two quarters before nailing a 3-pointer with under two minutes remaining. Eventually, he produced 22 points on 6-of-21 FG, including 4-of-13 from deep. Friday night’s performance was a demonstration of the poorest shooting slump of his career.

The 2x Most Valued Player and 3x Champion, Chef Curry’s efficiency this season is only at 42 FG%, which is his lowest field goal percentage out of all the seasons in his career. He is putting up a mere 37 FG% from the floor since late December and has only one 30-plus point games in the past 11 Warriors’ matchups. Even Russell Westbrook, infamous for missing shots, has a better FG% than Curry this season.

Despite their dub over the Rockets, the Warriors have now lost 6 of their last 10 games. Notably, they are still without DPOY candidate, Draymond Green. Additionally, Jordan Poole has not been adapting well to his new role post Klay’s return. The Warriors’ next four games will all be played at Oracle Arena, but they will all be against tougher playoff teams.
