It was already past 11 p.m. in Paris when Stephen Curry dribbled behind his back, moved to his right and launched a 3-pointer with two defenders guarding him. When the shot swished through the net, Curry raised his arms, pressed his palms together and rested his head on his hands.
An Olympic-sized version of his signature “Night Night” pose to put French hopes to bed once and for all.
Curry sank four of his eight 3-pointers in the final three minutes to help the United States finish off a gold medal-or-bust campaign at the Paris Olympics with a 98-87 win over the host nation in the final at Bercy Arena on Saturday night.
