The Golden State Warriors are gearing up for a thrilling season ahead. Their high-octane offense was on full display Wednesday night, as they secured a 122-112 victory over the Sacramento Kings in their second preseason matchup. Amid the flashy three-pointers and intense gameplay, it was Steph Curry's jaw-dropping trick shot that sent the internet into a frenzy.
The Warriors, eager to make a splash from beyond the arc, launched a remarkable 52 three-point attempts during the game, connecting on an impressive 53.8% of them. This comes on the heels of recent discussions about the team’s shift towards an even more potent perimeter attack, especially with Klay Thompson’s departure.

However, despite their hot shooting, it wasn’t just the deep ball that caught everyone's attention. The moment that made waves across social media came from Steph Curry, known for his shooting wizardry but adding some outrageous trick shots to his highlight reel. In a play that seemed to defy the laws of physics, Curry drove to the basket, contorted his body mid-air, and somehow almost turned 360 degrees to make a shot.
Curry led GSW to an electrifying win!
Curry’s electrifying performance ignited the Warriors’ offense, especially after a shaky start. Early on, Sacramento's DeMar DeRozan gave the Warrior's defense fits, shooting a perfect 6-for-6 to rack up 15 points and leading the Kings to an early advantage. As the Warriors’ bench entered, momentum shifted. By the second quarter, Golden State found its rhythm, fueled by Curry’s heroics and a barrage of three-pointers.
The Warriors took a slim 31-27 lead by the end of the first quarter, but Curry’s leadership in the second quarter propelled the team to stay competitive, even as the Kings regained a narrow half-time lead. Curry, along with Draymond Green and Kevon Looney, sat out the second half, allowing the younger Warriors to shine. The trio of Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Buddy Hield stepped up, building on Curry’s momentum to secure the win.
Although Sacramento Kings made a push in the fourth quarter, trimming the lead to just three points, the Warriors regrouped after a timeout. They responded with a 13-0 run that sealed the victory and preserved their perfect preseason record.
