Watch: Warriors' star Stephen Curry trips over vendor during Game 3

The Golden State Warriors are looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night and at halftime, were locked in a 48-47 barnburner.

The Dubs got a bit of a scare shortly before intermission when two-time MVP Stephen Curry went down briefly, after tripping courtside. Fortunately, the all-time 3-point king quickly got to his feet and went on to finish the opening half with a game-high 16 points.

When fans got a look at the replay of Curry's fall, it appears that No. 30 wasn't tripped up by a Mavericks player, or even a fan sitting a bit too closely to the action.

Golden State is two wins away from making their first trip to the NBA Finals since 2019, when they lost to the Toronto Raptors.
