"Man, I didn't even know it was a tie game." De'Anthony Melton's halftime admission captures how completely Golden State had changed the evening against the Lakers.

Los Angeles had opened with Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves driving an aggressive start. By the break, Brandin Podziemski's outside shot had brought the Warriors level. What had looked like a runaway had become a fresh game.

The NBA's full highlights of the October 30 Cup matchup have drawn nearly two million views before their first day is over, far beyond the channel's usual start for a regular video. The comments are also much busier than usual, with viewers discussing the comeback, Golden State's supporting players and one particularly sharp change of direction.

That comes when Stephen Curry creates space against Dončić with a crossover, steps back and makes the three. The crowd's reaction cuts through the broadcast. Curry finishes with eight three-pointers, but this recap isn't only a collection of his shots: Georges Niang and Melton help fuel the recovery, and Podziemski supplies both the halftime equalizer and a late-third-quarter go-ahead drive.

Golden State wins 112-95 despite Dončić leading all scorers. The NBA has also posted Curry's crossover as a separate Short, which is running well above its usual Shorts start. Elsewhere in the same Cup slate, the channel's Rockets-Mavericks and Pacers-Heat recaps are drawing unusually strong viewing too.

Podziemski's postgame explanation is less flashy than the crossover: "Yeah, just finding ways to be competitive, winning in the margins."

Curry understands that if he gets help from at least one other Golden State player, he will be able to carry the team on most nights.
