NBA social media reacts to Steph Curry’s game-winning 3-pointer vs. Suns
Throughout the 2023-24 season, the Golden State Warriors have struggled in clutch situations, dropping multiple games in the final seconds. On Saturday, the Warriors found themselves in a familiar situation against the Phoenix Suns.
To give the Suns a two-point lead, Devin Booker buried a tough turnaround jumper with 35 seconds remaining. After a pair of misses from both sides, the Warriors received one last chance with three seconds remaining in regulation.
Despite the Warriors’ late-game struggles in the past, Steph Curry delivered. After Bradley Beal attempted to steal the inbounds pass, Curry sprung free for a long-distance game-winning 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds left on the clock.
Behind a ridiculous jumper from the All-Star point guard, the Warriors secured a 113-112 victory over Booker, Beal and Kevin Durant. Curry finished with a team-high 30-points on 10-of-22 shooting from the field with nine made triples to go along with nine rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes.
Following Curry’s game-winner, the NBA community on X erupted with reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Saturday night.

Yeah, Steph Curry is ridiculous.
Yeah, Mike Breen with another all time epic “BANG!” call.
But how about that pass by Brandin Podziemski? Absolute dime. Right where Beal couldn’t touch it.
Perfection all around.
