Watch: Steph Curry dishes smooth lob to Jayson Tatum for dunk vs. South Sudan

The Warriors point guard linked up with Jayson Tatum at the rim for a must-see highlight in the Olympics.

While he struggled to find the bottom of the rim against South Sudan on Wednesday in Lille, Stephen Curry managed to his Olympic highlight reel with a smooth pass.

With Team USA holding an already large lead over South Sudan in the third quarter, Anthony Davis came up with a slick steal on a fast break. Davis quickly dished the ball over to Curry, who immediately found Tatum at the rim. Curry lofted an underhand lob to a wide-open Tatum for an emphatic dunk.

With their win against South Sudan, Team USA has already punched a ticket to the quarterfinals with one game left in the group stage against Puerto Rico.

Watch: Steph Curry drills deep 3-pointer from way beyond the arc vs. South Sudan

Steph Curry helped spark Team USA with a signature long-distance 3-pointer on Saturday against South Sudan.

Following a quiet start that included shooting struggles and a flurry of turnovers, Team USA trailed by 14 points to South Sudan at halftime in London.

Following a sloppy inbound pass, Curry saved a near-turnover and wasted no time pulling up from way beyond the arc. After securing the ball, Curry fired a shot from deep that set the O2 Arena in London into a frenzy along with giving Team USA a much-needed 3-point lead.
