Stephen Curry beat the final horn with a step-back 20-footer Friday night as the Golden State Warriors rallied past the Houston Rockets 105–103 in San Francisco.

Down by nine with 4:49 to play, the Warriors rallied into a 103-all tie on a pair of Otto Porter Jr. free throws with 1:22 remaining, then got one final possession when Houston’s Garrison Mathews missed a 3-point attempt with 8.5 seconds left.
