After trading buckets with the Boston Celtics throughout the first half, Steph Curry sent the Golden State Warriors into halftime with the lead in signature fashion.
Following a scramble that featured a pair of turnovers in the final seconds of the second quarter, the Warriors’ eight-time All-Star received the ball as the clock ticked down. Curry pulled up from beyond the half-court line and buried an improbable jumper from long distance at the buzzer.
Curry’s last-second heave gave the Warriors a one-point advantage heading into the locker room at halftime against the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics.

Despite Curry’s thrilling jumper at the end of the second quarter, the Celtics gained the last laugh. The Celtics staged a late comeback in the fourth quarter to push the game to overtime. In overtime, the Celtics ran away with the game over the Warriors, 121-118.
Curry finished the game with a team-high 29 points on 9-of-25 shooting from the field with six made 3s to go along with seven assists and four boards in 43 minutes.
Curry and the Warriors will be back on the court on Friday for the second leg of a road back-to-back against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
