Watch: Steph Curry drills deep 3-pointer from way beyond the arc vs. South Sudan

After breaking off three wins in Team USA’s showcase series before the start of the Olympics in Paris, the Americans found themselves in trouble on Saturday in London in a battle with South Sudan.

Following a quiet start that included shooting struggles and a flurry of turnovers, Team USA trailed by 14 points to South Sudan at halftime in London.

Despite their ice-cold open against South Sudan, Team USA began to mount a comeback late. Stephen Curry provided a park for Team USA with one of his signature long-distance triple before the start of the fourth quarter.

With time dwindling away in the third quarter, Team USA avoided a near-disaster turnover with the help of Curry. Following a sloppy inbound pass, Curry saved a near-turnover and wasted no time pulling up from way beyond the arc. After securing the ball, Curry fired a shot from deep that set the O2 Arena in London into a frenzy along with giving Team USA a much-needed 3-point lead.
