The Golden State Warriors were losing their grip on an early-season test against the rival Sacramento Kings, and Stephen Curry had seen enough.
It was Oct. 27, and Golden 1 Center fans had witnessed a furious 20-6 fourth-quarter run to cut the Warriors' lead — 15 points just three minutes earlier — to five with 45 seconds remaining.
As Andrew Wiggins cut to the basket, pulling two defenders toward him, Curry snuck out to the top of the 3-point line as two Kings unsuccessfully closed out.
Night night. Curry's 41-point performance in the second game of the season, a 122-114 win for the Warriors, set the tone for a red-hot start, even by Steph standards.
