United States guard Steph Curry already was on a fourth-quarter heater when he caught a pass from American teammate Kevin Durant on the perimeter with 39 seconds left in the gold medal game Saturday against France.
At the time, Team USA led by six points—a commanding advantage, but not a safe lead by any means the way France was playing. With two defenders on him, Curry dribbled behind his back, stepped back and launched a rainbow three-point attempt toward the basket. Swish.
