Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry took San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills for a spin en route to a basket.
Stephen Curry has been putting together a highlight reel against the San Antonio Spurs in the first half. The Golden State Warriors are rolling early behind Curry and it’s clear that he wants to lead the Warriors to a huge win over their Western Conference counterpart.
Curry wasn’t just flashing his range either against the Spurs. He was also showing off his ball-handling skills and his ability to embarrass defenders. Spurs guard Patty Mills found out the hard way just how good Curry is with the basketball in his hands.
Curry drove on Mills, while hitting him with a very soft spin before floating up a shot with a soft touch.

Curry’s had nice touch all night from the floor and this is one of the most beautiful shots he has made. He didn’t just heave it up like a long-range three, but rather he used a little finesse and made a more aesthetically pleasing type of play.
Mills is pretty spot on as a defender in this league, but against Curry, even the best defenders are made to look bad on the floor.
