Stephen Curry: Gold

espn.com

It is now five straight Olympic golds for the USA after a hard fought 98-87 victory over the resilient and prideful host nation of France Saturday.

The indelible moment came from Stephen Curry, who made four uber clutch 3-pointers in a two-minute second stretch of the fourth quarter to turn away a French uprising. Curry assured his first gold with a ridiculous fall away bomb, silencing the home fans with his "put them to sleep" trademark move.

"At that point your mind goes blank, you don't really care about the setting or the scenario or anything, it's just a shot," Curry said. "Thankfully, that one went in ... it's just rhythm and flow and confidence and that was it."

After making nine 3-pointers in the semifinals and putting in 36 points, Curry made 8-of-12 triples in the final for 24 golden points.
