Stephen Curry hit a difficult one-handed floater in the third quarter of Game 1 in the Western Conference Finals.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is arguably the best offensive talent in the NBA these days. While his three-point shot is his top weapon, he’s much more than just an outside shooter. Curry can score from just about anywhere on the court thanks to his versatile skill-set.

The shot is even more impressive considering Curry was fouled on the play. However, shockingly enough, Curry missed the following free throw.
Unfortunately for the Houston Rockets, that free-throw has been one of the rare times Curry has missed on Tuesday night. Curry averaged 23.8 points (48.7 percent shooting from the field, 44.3 percent shooting from behind the arc), 7.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game in the regular season.
