With a magnificent shot one second from the end of the match, Stephen Curry offered a victory and hope to the Golden State Warriors against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday in the NBA.
At 35 years old (36 in March), after 14 seasons in San Francisco, four NBA titles (2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022) and two MVP awards (2015 and 2016), Stephen Curry continues to touch excellence, and maintain the flickering flame of a franchise in decline, bereaved and in difficulty this season.

On Saturday, Curry released a magnificent shot to reach 30 points and make his Warriors win against Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns (113-112).
Three seconds from the end, the "Dubs" are trailing by two points: on a commitment, Curry is found by a difficult pass, behind him, which he still manages to catch.
Despite the defense of Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, the crazy shooter turns and shoots from behind the three-point line to find the target and explode the Chase Center, before crouching and screaming his joy in front of his fans, for whom he is a sort of divinity.

“My love of the game keeps me energized no matter what’s going on.
I am blessed,” the star soberly commented.
The Warriors continued to tremble after the shot of their savior, but the Suns of Kevin Durant (24 points) and Devin Booker (32 points) could not convert a last action with 0.6 seconds to play.
Stephen Curry acts this season as a lifeline for his Warriors who with this success move up to 10th place in the Western Conference, in the position of last play-off, they who are just recovering from the death on January 17 of their assistant coach Dejan Milojevic.
