The Golden State Warriors worked for months to avoid the NBA's Play-In Tournament in order to rest a veteran roster but weren't able to do so. But all's well that ends well as the Warriors were able to use their home-court advantage to sail past the Memphis Grizzlies, 121-116. Stephen Curry, as he's done so many times before in the biggest moments, put things out of reach by knocking down a three-pointer to extend the Warriors' lead to six points with 59.5 seconds remaining in regulation.
How he did it, however, was a bit revelatory as he put a bold new twist on a classic move. Curry performed not one, but two pump fakes on a scrambling Scotty Pippen Jr. to cause maximum effort and no defensive success. It's unclear if the math makes this a triple pump fake or double-clutching twice means it's a quadruple fake or something else entirely.
