NBA Week 3 Rewind: Stephen Curry, Warriors can’t be stopped
By Tom West
The NBA’s Best Highlights of Week 3
We saw plenty of crazy action again this week, with several game winners throughout. Here’s a selection of the best moments.
Emmanuel Mudiay seals the game with his defense
Despite the offensive struggles he’s been having as a young starting point guard in the NBA, Mudiay proved his defensive abilities with a clutch rejection as Damian Lillard attacked the basket in the dying seconds.
The Morzingis, the better
What weekly selection of highlights would be complete with a Kristaps Porzingis put-back?
Nikola Vucevic fades for the buzzer-beating winner
This isn’t the kind of shot we see normally from Vuceivc, but he certainly made it count at the last second to defeat the Lakers 101-99 on Wednesday night.
Zach Randolph is always there for a rebound
Never fail to box-out Z-Bo, especially when a game is on the line. Unfortunately for the Trail Blazers, they learned that the hard way as Randolph put-back an offensive rebound to steal a 101-100 win.
Chef Curry’s circus
As great a shooter as Stephen Curry is, even he can’t deny there was a little luck involved with this wild three pointer.
No big has handles like Blake Griffin
Just like no big man can dribble as well as Blake Griffin, no big man can keep up when he’s crossing them over like this.
Well, Jabari Parker looks healthy again
The Milwaukee Bucks missed Jabari Parker after he was out for most of his rookie season, and now he’s well and truly back.
The not-so-splash-brother making a clutch three
It’s hard to believe the Nets were actually just six seconds away from defeating the Warriors. They were so close to causing a major upset, and then Andre Iguodala made a clutch three to force overtime before the champs quickly composed themselves to take the win.
Next, let’s see how the NBA’s rooks are doing.
