Stephen Curry · No stranger to raining on the Boston Celtics’ parade with 3-point buckets in critical environments, Stephen Curry opted for a “rainbow” during his most recent example. A top-shelf candidate for the NBA’s 2023-24 Clutch Player of the Year, Curry misses on his first attempt to extend the Golden State Warriors’ one-point edge under 20 seconds remaining. Unbothered, the former two-time league Most Valuable Player merely positions himself along the right 3-point arc, upstaging both the dwindling shot clock and Boston’s tough contest, hanging a high-arcing moonball through the skies for the game-clinching triple. Timely in turning to his signature “night-night” celebration, Curry’s performance made him one of the night’s heroes, punishing the league’s top regular season team with 33 points — including 13 in the fourth — alongside three rebounds, six assists, and six 3-pointers on December 19, 2023. · State of Mint
