Stephen Curry hit a smooth step-back three-pointer to beat the buzzer as the Golden State Warriors hammered the Indiana Pacers.
The Western Conference-leading Warriors faced little resistance as they utliised a balanced attack to blow out the Pacers in Oakland.
All five Golden State starters scored in double figures as the defending NBA champions cruised to victory after busting the game open early in the third quarter with an 11-0 flurry.
Curry scored 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting, each of his baskets coming from three-point range.
The best of the bunch came at the conclusion of the third quarter. With the game clock ticking down, Curry brought the ball upcourt, crossing into the Paces' half with 3.9 seconds remaining.
Still dribbling, he faded left before meeting Pacers defenders Aaron Holiday and Myles Turner just inside the three-point arc.
With 1.8 seconds left, Curry picked up his dribble and changed direction, stepping back behind the three-point line to create space for a shot. He fired his triple over the outstretched arm of Turner and watched it swish through the net as the buzzer sounded to end the quarter.
