Steph Curry has hit plenty of big shots for the Golden State Warriors this season, but recently those shots haven’t led to wins.

Just a few weeks ago against the Los Angeles Lakers, Curry hit a shot to tie the game and send it to overtime, but the Lakers ultimately came out on top.

On Saturday, Curry finally got his game-winner, hitting a deep three to take the lead against the Phoenix Suns with just 0.7 seconds left on the clock. The Suns weren’t able to connect on their final shot and the Warriors walked away with a win.

Afterward, Curry was relieved to finally have a huge shot result in a win.

“It’s about time I hit a shot that actually got us a win,” Curry said. “Had a couple that didn’t go our way. We needed this one to keep our momentum going. Big win. Let’s get another one.”

Curry was huge in Saturday’s game. The star point guard had 30 points, nine rebounds and six assists, nailing nine threes on the night. With the win, the Warriors collected their fourth win in a row and have now won six of their last seven. Golden State sits in 11th place in the Western Conference at 25-25.

With more big performances from Curry, the Warriors will continue to tallie up the wins and secure a playoff spot.
