Inside the Stephen Curry flurry: How 4 shots sealed another gold for the US in Olympic basketball

Stephen Curry’s shooting performance in the Paris Olympics was initially underwhelming, with only five successful 3-pointers across the first four games. His usually reliable shot seemed to have deserted him. However, as the medal round approached, Curry’s fortunes changed dramatically. The NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers rediscovered his touch at the most crucial juncture for Team USA. In the last two games against Serbia and France, Curry drained an impressive 17 shots from beyond the arc, playing a pivotal role in securing the United States’ fifth straight gold medal with a 98-87 victory.
