VIDEO: Warriors' Steph Curry makes the Magic victory disappear

Tobias Harris forgot the golden rule: You don't let Steph Curry shoot a 3 when his team is down two.

Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors is dribbling the ball up floor with a two-point deficit and eight seconds left in the ball game. He's 2-of-8 from 3-point range on the night. While some people may not be into what the numbers of a basketball game have to say, it's important that we look at the options laid out before Tobias Harris, the Orlando Magic defender that found himself in a one-on-one situation against Curry.

For his career, Curry takes a 3-point shot 39.5 percent of the time he takes a shot. That percentage seems a little low if you've watched Curry the last three seasons. That's because in his last three seasons, Curry has taken a 3-pointer 43.2 percent of the time (2012-13 season when he set the record for 3-pointers made in a season at 272), 44.5 percent of the time (2013-14 season when he led the NBA in 3-pointers made and attempted for the second straight season), and 46.9 percent of the time (the current season we're in).

Not only has the rate in which Curry takes a 3-pointer risen considerably during the last three seasons of his career, but he's also the third most accurate 3-point shooter in NBA history and the most accurate shooter from downtown out of all active players at 43.9 percent. The smart money is on Curry trying to rip the heart out of a young Magic team and send them home with a loss on a last second 3-pointer.

Afterall, he's taking 3-point shots at an increasingly high clip and he's one of the most accurate 3-point shooters we've ever seen.

Harris' job is to 1) not foul Curry on a 3-point attempt and 2) not allow Curry to take a 3-point attempt. You can live with Curry tying the game inside the arc, but you simply can't allow arguably the greatest 3-point shooter of all time to hoist one up from 3-point range. Especially when you factor in that he was shooting 25 percent from 3 in that current game, his career percentage would dictate that the next one is probably going in -- although some people don't believe in the predictive nature of looking at the next shot that way.

We should be able to agree that Curry's shooting transcends those silly arguments about numbers because all of his numbers when it comes to shooting are historically absurd in a good way.

For Harris to perform his job properly here, he has to not bite on Curry's move, which is instinctively tough for a defensive player in basketball. You're taught to cut guys off from going to be the basket in transition, but Curry doesn't want to go to the basket. He wants to go out for a victory dinner, which starts at that arc around the perimeter.

And that's when the in'n'out crossover that Curry serves up to Harris is just too dirty to describe. Check it out in looping fashion.

Curry makes Harris look like he's trying to find his footing on an icy sidewalk.

Let's take a look at a different angle. You'll notice that Curry is moving back and to the left.

Back and to the left. Back and to the left...

Next time, you've got to just funnel him away from the 3-point line. I don't know how you possibly do that, but it's the only way to get out of there with a chance at overtime being the worst-case scenario.

Steph, that was just rude.
