Warriors guard Stephen Curry and Rockets guard James Harden connected for an impressive alley-oop dunk during the first quarter of Sunday's All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden.
Curry stole the ball from John Wall near the basket, used a behind-the-back dribble to create space and bounced the ball between his legs before tossing the ball in the air with one hand.
