Angels reliever Joe Smith beats Warriors' Stephen Curry in game of PIG

Joe Smith made a blind, backward, over-the-head free throw that Stephen Curry couldn't match. Then, the Angels reliever stymied the reigning NBA most valuable player and a prolific shooter on a left-handed three-point basket to win a good-natured game of PIG on Tuesday.

"That was fun. I loved it. ... Sometimes a little bit of luck, a lot bit of luck," Smith said.

It sure made Smith's day to walk away a winner from the Golden State Warriors' practice. Smith, infielder Cliff Pennington, and sluggers Albert Pujols and Mike Trout attended practice before their night game against the Oakland Athletics.
