In a game that felt more like a Western Conference Finals matchup, the Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder when Stephen Curry drained a 38-foot 3-pointer with less than one second to go.

The Warriors overcame a fourth-quarter deficit, hitting two free throws at the end of regulation, only after Kevin Durant turned the ball over with the clock winding down. But it was in overtime when things really got exciting.

After the Thunder missed a shot, the Warriors pushed the ball up the court and chose not to call a timeout. That’s when Curry pulled up from 38 feet away.

What a shot!

It was Curry’s 12th 3-pointer of the game, tying the NBA record. During the game, he also broke his own record for 3-pointers in a season. He now has 288 and the Warriors still have 24 games to play. He finished with 46 points, his 11th 40-point game of the season.

Here is a replay.

ESPN unleashed their Sports Science on the shot and measured the shot at 38.4 feet.

Dance, Steph, dance!
