Early in the first quarter, Curry stole the ball and went in alone on a fastbreak. The 6-foot-3 guard decided that after 70 games this season, it was time for his first dunk. The four-time All-Star threw down a two-handed jam, then hung and spun on the rim to enjoy the moment. After his feet were back on the court, he gave a little dance move and was congratulated by his teammates.
