Stephen Curry: Third-quarter shot was "big turning point"

Stephen Curry has admitted that his three-pointer at the end of the third quarter was a "big turning point" in the Golden State Warriors' win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

The 108-95 victory, which sends the side through to the Western Conference finals, came after the league MVP put the Warriors eight points up heading into the fourth quarter.

He told ESPN: "In a closeout game like that, that's a big turning point and the moment's magnified. I made one in college like that. That's the last I made anywhere past half court and same kind of shot, loose ball, grab it, throw it up and knock it down.

"We'll obviously be watching on Sunday to figure it out. I feel like if we do what we're supposed to do in the next round, we'll be all right."

The Warriors will face the winner of tomorrow's game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets in the conference finals.
