Breaking: Social Media Goes Wild for Curry’s Game-Winning Shot
The Golden State Warriors traveled to D.C. to take on the Washington Wizards on Monday night, getting superstar point guard Steph Curry back on the court following a three-game absence.
Curry finished the first half with eight points and four assists on 2-6 shooting, facing former backcourt mate Jordan Poole, who led the game with 14 first-half points on 5-10 shooting.
Ahead of the halftime buzzer, Poole made a statement against his former squad, draining a 28-foot three-pointer with just ten seconds left. Washington’s excitement was short-lived, as Curry found separation in the corner to drain a buzzer-beating three, taking a 54-45 lead at the break.
The highlight shot from Curry has gone viral on social media, with the NBA and several other big accounts sharing it.
Via NBA: “Pump fake. Side-step. Calmly hit the 3 to beat the buzzer”
The highlight was so great, that the official NBA account actually shared it twice.

The Golden State Warriors account got in on the action, sharing Curry’s unreal buzzer beater.

ClutchPoints also shared Curry’s shot but from the angle of a supposed Draymond Green and Jordan Poole interaction.

Curry was limited in the first half after missing three consecutive games with an ankle injury but was back doing normal Steph activities while on the court.
