Steph Curry called game on Friday after his step-back jumper beat the buzzer and prevented the Warriors from facing back-to-back overtime scenarios.

Steph’s eighth game-winner and first career buzzer-beater led the Warriors to a 105-103 victory over the Houston Rockets at Chase Center.

With an almost identical situation as the day before, Steph took control and came in clutch when it mattered most.
