Stephen Curry hits first career buzzer-beater to lift Warriors past Rockets

Stephen Curry, after struggling for most of the night, delivered for the Golden State Warriors when it mattered most on Friday night.

Curry, with the game tied in the final seconds, expertly drilled a step-back buzzer-beater from the top of the key to lift the Warriors past the Houston Rockets 105-103 at the Chase Center.

The buzzer-beater, remarkably, was the first of Curry's career.

"It's about time I made one," he yelled after the win. "That's my first one!"

The night hadn’t been going well for Curry — who missed his first eight shots — or the Warriors.
