Curry led all scorers with 42 points on 12-of-22 shooting, including hitting six of his 15 three-point attempts.

After milking as much time off the clock as he could, Curry blew by Harrell and drove into the open lane where he scooped home a right-handed lay-up that dropped through the net with 0.5 seconds remaining, sealing victory for the Warriors.
