On the floor, Stephen Curry occasionally astounds himself. 

Curry made a stepback three over two Los Angeles defenders in the second quarter of the Warriors’ 113—112 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.

That’s the grimace on the faces of defenders who try to stop Curry from getting to his spots, which is far easier said than done. 

When watched from a camera perspective on the floor, the Warriors star’s performance appears even more amazing, according to a video released to the NBA’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter.Draymond Green provides glimpse of player Warriors need in loss to Clippers  – NBC Sports Bay Area & CaliforniaClippers beat Warriors 113-112 in Los Angeles to split home-and-home series  | National Sports | meridianstar.com

On this play, Daniel Theis appeared to be on an other continent from Curry due to the amount of space generated. It was all in a day’s work for Curry, who scored 22 points and dished out 11 assists in the Clippers’ loss.
