Steph Curry stars in Team USA's thriller win against Serbia

Steph Curry was quiet throughout the Olympics when Team USA cruised past their opponents in four previous games. The first time his team stepped into troubled waters, Chef Curry stepped up to keep his team afloat while everyone came around in the fourth quarter.

Curry made his intentions very clear in the first quarter. He exploded for 17 points in that period and remained the sole answer for his team against the Serbian onslaught. Curry kept shooting at very high efficiency throughout the game, shooting over 60% both from the field and the three-point line.

In just 33 minutes, Steph Curry scored 36 points, making 12 of 19 shots from the field and 9 of 14 shots from the three-point line. He also had 8 rebounds and 2 assists in the game.

Apart from Curry, LeBron James also had a historic night. He became the only player in Olympic history to have two triple-doubles. He had 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the game.

James and Curry might also have given one of the greatest pictures that will remain in the NBA fans' memory forever. A picture of James and Curry celebrating their thrilling win is going viral on the internet.
