Before halftime, Curry provided some fireworks for the fans in San Francisco. With time ticking away in the second quarter, Curry brought the ball up the court with the chance for a last-second shot before the buzzer. Curry blew past Durant with a behind-the-back move before floating a circus shot through the bottom of the net to beat the buzzer.

Dropping out of the playoff picture obviously is not ideal for the Warriors, but they have one of the best players on the planet in Steph Curry on their roster and there is still plenty of time left to turn things around.

Wednesday was vintage Curry on the NBA’s showcase stage. But the vociferation of his excellence felt like a simultaneous cry for help.

The Clippers beat the Warriors in each of their first two meetings. Los Angeles sits in seventh place at 17-13 despite missing Kawhi Leonard — who won’t debut Friday — all year. Wing Terance Mann is also listed as out with a broken finger.

The Chef is cooking. Warriors star Steph Curry got the last word before halftime of Golden State's game against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday at Chase Center, reaching deep into his bag to blow by Kevin Durant and two other defenders with a buzzer-beating floater.
