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. He totaled 17 threes between the semifinal against Serbia and the final against France.

The 36-year-old relished the opportunity to play alongside James in an extended setting for the first time, so it's only right that the two of them take part in one of the winning plays that earned Team USA its fifth straight gold medal. James was named MVP of the Olympic tournament.

As Curry and James approach the twilight of their respective legendary careers, perhaps they will have the itch to share the floor with one another again before they hang it up and we'll get to see them connect for more winning plays.
