It was a heartbreak for the Phoenix Suns and another one of those nights for the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry to remember. With a late game-winner from the greatest shooter to ever grace the NBA, the Warrior’s side was in both shock and joy. So much so the camera even managed to grab Kevin Durant’s reaction, which was just a helpless smile.

In their 113-112 win against the Phonix Suns, it was Steph Curry who put the dagger in the hearts of the Suns fans. And Kevin Durant, who had a decent game for himself scoring 24 points for the entirety of the game, couldn’t help but smile at Curry’s magic. And thanks to the cameraman, it was all captured, as the clip went viral.

As for the game, it was end-to-end entertainment from both sides under the lights of the Chase Center. Devin Booker, who contributed 32 points was the man for the Phoenix Suns, and at the closing hours of the game looked like they would have taken the win at away territory. But all dreams were shattered with that one chance that came the way of Steph Curry during the dying stages of the game.
