The Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry had a ‘poke the bear’ moment in last night’s game against the Boston Celtics. And the Celtics were at the receiving end of it. New lip-reading footage has shown how the events unfolded.
Midway through the third quarter, Celtics superstar Jaylen Brown went one-on-one against Curry. With a series of post moves, Brown finished the basket. It had an impact as the refs called a fifth foul on Curry. After this, he indicated the ‘too small’ taunt on Curry. From there on, seemingly awakened by the taunt, Curry and his teammates went on a run to end the fourth quarter, tied at 121 each. Curry emphatically said this from time to time after every shot he got going:
F*ck yea! But I’m small?Steph Curry on the court
Chris Paul added to the already motivated Curry. This is what Paul said:
Finish this motherf**ker.
Curry launched a high-arcing three-pointer with 11 seconds left in overtime over a late and outstretched Derrick White. Eventually, that was the final dagger for the Celtics.
Stephen Curry has made it a habit of making clutch three-pointers. The Golden State Warriors must depend on their superstar to lead the team to wins. They are without Draymond Green, who remains on suspension till he sorts out issues. Gary Payton II is also out with an injury. That is two defensive stalwarts down for the Warriors trying for another shot at the NBA title.
The Warriors have their backs against the wall in a tough Western Conference. Curry and co. have been asked to play lights out every game. Against the league-leading Boston Celtics, it was not an easy contest. They had to dig deep to win this game.
Game-changing taunt motivated Stephen Curry
Down 97-86 to start the fourth quarter, the Warriors had to dig deep. Curry was already motivated. Consequently, Chris Paul‘s timely motivating line was also a driving force for the team, especially Curry.
Curry finished the game with 33 points, three rebounds and six assists. Secondly, Klay Thompson helped along with 24 points and 4 rebounds. The Celtics lost the game 132-126 in overtime. Derrick White led them with 30 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Jaylen Brown ended with 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.
Luckily for the Warriors, their superstar ‘bear’ was ‘poked’ at the right time. The ‘I’m small’ superstar just won the game on the back of a ‘big’ performance. At the moment, the Warriors are close to having a .500 record.
