-== Top 11 Steph Curry Moments Of His Career ==-
1st Quarter
It took a while for either team to score a bucket. Almost three minutes went by before Klay Thompson finally made the first basket of the game. The Warriors then got off to a 8-2 run after a couple of Draymond Green dunks. J.R. Smith hit a triple to end his drought and a LeBron basket cut the lead to three. Draymond wasn’t done, he scored another bucket and a triple to extend the lead to six. Smith made another triple to get it down to three again. The scoring was not consistent from either team and with about three and a half minutes left, the score was 16-11. LeBron then went on a little run after LeBron James scored five points and Iman Shumpert hit a three to take a one point lead. Curry came back and knocked down a triple to take back the lead. At the end of the quarter, the score was tied at 22.

2nd Quarter
The first quarter was not great offensive quarter for either team and the second got off to a slow start too. The Warriors were sloppy and couldn’t knock down any shots. LeBron was the first to score when he got a bucket and the foul. Klay Thompson and Leandro Barbosa hit a bucket to keep the Warriors , but J.R. Smith hit two straight triples and Cleveland was up by five. Thompson hit a quick shot to cut the lead to three. LeBron came back to score two nice jumpers. Curry responded with two triples to keep the deficit three. Draymond and Dellavedova got tangled up and it looked like Delly was trying to lock his arm as they were going down. The Warriors then went on a run. Curry rebounded a free throw miss to put it back up for a two point lead and Oracle was rocking. Both teams traded baskets to end the half, but Harrison Barnes got a put back slam and a foul to give the Warriors a one point lead going into the break.

3rd Quarter
Curry started with a bucket to start the second half. A Dellavedova triple gave the Cavs a one point lead. This was a heavyweight bout and they took turns taking shots. Up until the midway point of the quarter, both teams scored, but Cavs maintained a one point lead. After a good defensive stand, the Warriors let Thompson get another offensive rebound and he put the Cavs up 3. The Warriors were struggling defensively a little. Thompson drove to the basket and hit the layup and got the foul. That tied the game with about five minutes left. LeBron hit a jumper to put them up by two again, but Curry came back with a triple and Iguodala had one of his own to put them up by four. Four consecutive points for Barbosa put the Warriors up by six going into the fourth quarter.

4th Quarter
Harrison Barnes posterized Timofey Mozgov to start the final period and was also awarded the foul. LeBron came back to quickly score a three and cut the Warrior lead in half. The Warriors couldn’t find the offense and another Iman Shumpert triple tied the game. Curry and LeBron traded two point shot and Draymond Green hit two free throws to put the Dubs up by two. Curry and LeBron then traded traded triples, but Klay Thompson wanted to join the party too and hit a three of his own and the Warriors were up five. LeBron was not going to let the Dubs just take over, the Cavs scored four straight points to cut the lead to one. The Dubs then went on a 6-0 run, thanks to a triple from Iggy and an acrobatic layup. Curry then took over and drove to the hole and hit another impossible triple over Dellavedova. Bron then hit an impossible three of his own and then the Cavs went to a hack-a-Iguodala and he missed his first three free throws. Curry hit another three to put the nail in the coffin.
Curry with the LONG three. https://t.co/AJphPTpRib @warriorsworld
