Steph Curry

Who else would the Golden State Warriors turn to with their season on the line? In a win-or-go-home Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals, Steph Curry brought his squad back from the brink of elimination with a patented clutch performance. The four-time champion willed the Warriors to victory, getting the best of Lonnie Walker IV in an isolation matchup by using his evasive handles to create enough space to pull the trigger on a 3-pointer that beat the halftime buzzer. One of Curry’s three triples gave the Warriors an 11-point advantage at the break, and his game-high 27 points and eight assists delivered a 121-106 triumph over the Los Angeles Lakers on May 10, 2023.
