Steph Curry secured the inbounds pass thrown next to him, took a couple of steps, and then launched a 56-foot running heave from the center and notched the halftime buzzer-beater.
After that, the Warriors superstar, until the end of the 3rd quarter, notched 25 of his 56 points to lift the Golden State Warriors to come from 17 points behind and defeat Orlando Magic 121-115.

Steph scored 16 of 25 shots, including 12 three-pointers, the most by a basketballer in the current campaign. Curry also didn’t miss from the free throw line, scoring all of his 12 shots.
This was Curry’s 14th career 50-point match, evening LeBron and Rick Barry for 7th most in the league history. Steph has 9 such matches at age 30 or older, the most in the history.
“We can’t complain,” Golden State manager Steve Kerr shared. “It’s noting that we didn’t expect from Curry because we are spoiled with him in our team. I believe the supporters, even Orlando fans, know they watch the greatest shooter ever.”
