On the court, Curry weaved nimbly past Green. Just as he was about to collide with Mackie, he made a sharp turn, looped back around the other side of Green, and bolted for the corner.
His defender, Eric Gordon, had already sped around Green, but he never expected Curry to cut back.
By the time he turned again, it was too late.
Green, who had the ball, delivered a perfect pass.
And Curry's motion—running to the three-point line, turning to catch the ball, and releasing his shot—was also incredibly quick.
The ball swished through the net. 26 to 24. In a surprising turn, Curry's team took the lead to end the half.
In the lounge, Callesimo, sitting a short distance to Chen Yu's right, adjusted his glasses. "Not bad," he complimented. "It's clear Grand Canyon has stronger tactical execution. As for the Little Horse Team, they only changed their forward, but they're still having issues with teamwork."
