Stephen Curry released Kevin Durant with a stunning behind-the-back pass during the Golden State Warriors' victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.
The Warriors produced a rampant opening quarter to romp into a 39-12 lead, before going on to seal a comfortable 108-90 triumph.
During that early onslaught, Curry made one of the plays of the night, stripping the ball from former team-mate JaVale McGee before whipping the ball behind his back and down the court to Durant for an emphatic finish.
Curry had a relatively quiet night by his standards, with seven points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, but that was all the Warriors needed from the two-time MVP on this occasion.
DeMarcus Cousins led the way with a game-high 21 points, while Durant contributed 15 and Curry's understudy Quinn Cook had 18 from the bench.
The victory took the Warriors a step closer to sealing the top seed in the Western Conference, which they could do on Friday night when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers.
