Team USA needed a spark, and Steph Curry delivered when it mattered most as he’s done his entire professional career.

Up only three points with 2:48 left in the game, Curry put France’s Guerschon Yabusele on skates and hit a 3-pointer to extend the lead to six. It was the first of four 3-pointers Curry hit in the closing minutes of the game.

The fourth 3-pointer was the biggest with the U.S. up six points.

Curry flashed toward the top of the arc to try and create space between himself and Nic Batum. He got the ball from Kevin Durant and dribbled to his left. He dribbled behind his back as Evan Fournier tried to help Batum guard Curry. The Golden State Warriors star had Batum and Fournier’s hands in his face as he threw up the shot with six seconds on the shot clock.

Bang.

Curry nailed it, and the U.S. won the game, 98-87.

"That was an unbelievable moment," Curry told NBC’s Mike Tirico after the game. "I’ve been blessed to play basketball at a high level for a very long time. I don’t know. … This ranks very high in terms of the excitement and sense of relief getting to the finish line."

Curry had 24 points, all on 3-pointers.
