Stephen Curry, continuing his trend of second-half heroics since returning from a leg injury on March 5
Erupted for 20 points over the final 1:51 of regulation and overtime to will the Golden State Warriors past Milwaukee at Chase Center.
The Bucks, who led by eight points with 2:05 left in the fourth quarter, had one last crack at ending the game in regulation.
They got the ball to All-Star Jrue Holiday, who drove past Donte DiVincenzo into the paint.
Curry helped off Joe Ingles in the right corner and was the last line of defense. He stuffed Holiday’s layup attempt, which gave the Warriors possession with 1.9 seconds left.
“It was just kind of a read-and-react situation,” Curry said. “Obviously I’m not in that position very often to pull over, use verticality and all that, but the read and the timing was perfect. Just knowing time and score, Jrue was coming with a full head of steam downhill. I left my man in the corner hoping Klay (Thompson) would cover, too.
“It’s all basketball at the end of the day. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don’t. … It was a fun way to end regulation and carrying that momentum into overtime was huge.”
