During the third quarter of Tuesday night’s 113-109 Warriors win over the Pelicans, Curry hit a wild, turnaround shot right in front of the opposing bench and got a high-five from New Orleans assistant coach Darren Erman, a former staffer with the Warriors.

“He (Erman) was telling (Pelicans guard) Jrue (Holiday), while I’m shooting, ‘If he makes it it’s a good shot, if he makes it it’s a good shot,’ trying to encourage their defense, so I wanted a little praise for that good shot," Curry said.
Curry finished the game with 30 points, seven assists and four rebounds.
