Watch: Steph Curry dances after drilling clutch 3-pointer in Game 1 of Western Conference Finals vs. Mavs

Steph Curry started the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks cold.

The two-time Most Valuable Player finished the first quarter with four points on 1-of-5 shooting from the floor and 0-of-4 from the 3-point line. Curry’s uncharacteristic start even extended to the second quarter. Heading into the locker room at halftime, Curry recorded 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field and 1-of-6 from beyond the arc.

However, it doesn’t take Curry long to heat up. The eight-time All-Star came out firing in the second half. Curry buried a pair of haymaker 3-pointers in the first three minutes of the third quarter. Curry’s second triple pushed Golden State’s lead to 17 points and forced the Mavericks to call a timeout.

Following his dagger 3-pointer, Curry celebrated with a signature dance as the raucous Chase Center crowd rose to their feet.
