Calling Steph Curryโs recent stretch of play impressive would be an understatement.
Prior to Thursdayโs matchup in San Francisco, the two-time Most Valuable Player was averaging a scorching 37.4 points on 57.5 % shooting from the field over a five-game stretch. Curry has been on fire from beyond the arc during that span, hitting 6.4 triples per game on 50% shooting from beyond the arc.
Against the Orlando Magic at Chase Center, the six-time All-Star picked up right where he left off. Curry torched the Magic for 40 points on 14-of-26 shooting from the field with eight boards, five assists and four steals in 37 minutes. The Golden State point guard stayed hot from long distance, registering 10 made 3-pointers on 19 attempts.
Although it didnโt count, Curry capped off his 40 point effort with a jaw-dropping shot. After the final buzzer sounded to seal Golden Stateโs 111-105 victory over Orlando, Curry launched a high-arcing underhand shot from behind the 3-point line that swished through the bottom of the net.

Still can’t get over that Steph underhand bucket after the buzzer. An incredible way to cap off a heater. Does something unexplainable every night now.
