During one of the biggest playoff game comebacks in NBA history last Thursday, Stephen Curry splashed a 3-ball from the corner pocket while falling back into the front row of courtside seats in the final seconds of regulation. The clutch shot sent the Warriors into overtime, and they went on to win an improbable Game 3 on their way to sweep the series against the Pelicans. And almost as iconic as Curry's shot was the reaction, as his teammates on the bench, and even his family in the stands, could hardly contain themselves.
With at least a week in between playoff games, this play inspired us to look back on some of the other great reactions to amazing Warriors moments from this historic season. So with that said, enjoy some of our top celebratory moments from the 2014-15 season, starting with Curry’s heroic shot from Game 3.
