The Golden State Warriors pulled off a fantastic triple tonight with their 92-86 win over the Spurs. They won straight-up as the greatest 3.5-point underdogs the league may ever see.

D.J. Stephens Throws Down Thunderous Fast Break Alley-Oop

This Steph Curry Shot Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
The Warriors went down to Dallas and won a wildly entertaining shootout against the Mavs 130-112. Steph Curry finished a rebound shy of a triple-double and yawned his way to a dominant performance.

The Grizzlies Are Lance Stephenson's Right Now, And That's Entertaining As Hell
