Kerr: Steph Curry Requested LeBron Pick-and-Roll for Clutch Shot for USA to Win Gold

A flurry of three-pointers by star point guard Stephen Curry helped put the game away for Team USA in Saturday's gold-medal matchup against France at the Paris Olympics, and he called for a specific play down the stretch that played a part in securing the victory.

Per Ben Golliver of the Washington Post, Team USA head coach Steve Kerr said after Saturday's 98-87 win that Curry requested during a timeout to run a pick-and-roll with star forward LeBron James that helped set up one of his dagger triples.

Curry finished with a team-high 24 points in Saturday's win, all of which came from his eight three-pointers.
