In Golden State's 139-139 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night, 'Nonchalant' does not begin to discuss Stephen Curry's lob pass to Gary Payton II. The intense matchup was part of the NBA's inaugural in-season tournament, possibly giving the game more weight. However, Curry casually pulled off a simple alley-oop pass, the sort of tactic that may have resulted in a player suspension in the unlikely event that it resulted in a turnover. Rather, Curry's one-handed, no-look lob from outside the 3-point arc stunned the entire Thunder frontcourt. Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City's 7-foot rookie, was late reacting to Payton's backdoor cut to the basket. As a result, he had a front-row seat to watch Payton float to the rim, grab the ball with two hands at his chest, and smash down a simple reverse jam, pushing the Warriors' lead to 50-44.
