Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry knocks down unreal fadeaway three

May 14 (UPI) -- Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry ended the first half with two consecutive 3-pointers against the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1 on Tuesday night.

Curry's first three gave the Warriors a 51-45 lead with 37.9 seconds remaining. His last shot showed off his elite range and shot-making ability, extending the Warriors' lead before halftime.

With under 15 seconds left in the second quarter, Curry used a screen from Kevon Looney and faded back for a tough 3-pointer over Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum.

Curry drained the shot as he fell backward and hit the floor. He exploded for 19 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range, in the first half. Klay Thompson had 11 points on 5-of-14 shooting.

The Warriors led Portland 54-45 after the first two quarters.
