Of course, Curry continued his hot streak, as he nailed several impressive threes. Wilson knew what the Warriors game plan was.

Russell Wilson Wowed By Stephen Curry & His Crazy Shooting But Lebron James Drilled Game Winning Three
Curry nailed many big shots throughout the course of the game. Some of them simply had you shaking your head, wondering how on Earth, a human being could do this.
Just watch for example:

Russell Wilson, and the Seattle Seahawks in general, are big fans of basketball, and with a marquee matchup on their hands with the Lakers and Warriors playing each other for a spot in the playoffs, Wilson couldn’t resist.
However, Curry’s miraculous efforts were overshadowed by the fact that Golden State ended up losing the game. LeBron and Anthony Davis put on a show in the second half, willing the Lakers to an implausible victory.
While Curry managed to hit that impressive three, James somehow managed to one-up him with this shot clock beater late in the game:

That shot wound up being the game-winner as the Lakers would clamp up on Curry, not allowing him to make a final three to send the game to overtime. This play-in game was an instant classic, and Russell Wilson recognized this, like all of us.
