Steph Curry pulled out all the tricks in his bag Tuesday night.

Facing off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Warriors’ 2022-23 NBA season opener, Curry started downhill after Lakers’ guard Patrick Beverly was caught on a Kevon Looney screen.

With a full head of steam heading to the basket, Anthony Davis stepped in front of Curry in order to stop the 34-year-old. Instead, Curry went behind his back and unleashed a quick shot fake, catching Davis off guard, and causing him to careen to one side.

Curry then slyly went around the airborne Davis — a four-time All-Defensive Team selection — and finger-rolled the ball in off the glass to give the Warriors a 15-point lead with under four minutes to play in the fourth quarter.

The lead proved to be insurmountable for the Lakers, who ultimately fell to the defending champions, 123-109. Curry led all scorers with 33 points, dished out seven assists, grabbed six rebounds, and had four steals and a block in 33 minutes.

Although Curry is one of Golden State’s elder statesmen, he still is showing that he can defy Father Time just a little bit longer and get it done on a nightly basis.

Davis learned firsthand just how difficult it is to stop Curry when he’s in his bag.
