Steph Curry returned to action this April after spending more than two months sidelined, arriving at a crucial stage of the season for the Golden State Warriors.

The veteran guard played a key role in the Warriors’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers last Wednesday.

Golden State now prepare for a defining clash with the Phoenix Suns next Friday, where they could secure a playoff spot, and Curry is expected to be central once again.

With the game tied at 117-117, Curry took control and knocked down a decisive three-pointer that helped seal a 126-121 victory.

He finished as the top scorer with 35 points, leading the Warriors in a high-pressure situation.

His display gained even more attention due to a viral clip recorded courtside. After the clutch shot, Curry fell into fans and appeared to ask whether the ball had gone in, triggering wild celebrations.

That interaction quickly spread online, adding to the drama of an already crucial play.

Replay angle offers a different perspective on viral moment

However, a slow-motion replay from the official broadcast provided further details to the sequence.

Around the fifth second of the clip, Curry can be seen watching the ball drop through the basket before falling into the crowd.

That detail suggests he may have already known the outcome before asking the question.

Still, the moment has since been viewed as part of the spectacle, adding to the hype surrounding his decisive shot.
