After helping the Golden State Warriors land the No. 2 overall selection at the 2020 NBA Draft Lottery, Steph Curry tuned into playoff action inside the Orlando Bubble.
Golden State’s point guard was virtually in attendance to watch Seth Curry and the Dallas Mavericks take on the Los Angeles Clippers in game four of their Western Conference Playoff series.
After falling down by 21 points without Kristap Porzingis, the Mavericks stormed back against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers to push the game into overtime. In the extra period, Luka Doncic etched his name into postseason lore.
Down by a point with 3.7 seconds remaining, the 20-year-old guard drilled a vicious step-back jumper from beyond the arc to seal the Mavericks’ improbable comeback victory, 135-133.
Doncic’s teammates surrounded him in celebration as broadcaster Mike Breen boomed his signature “bang!” call.
