"Stephen Curry with the Baron Davis celebration": Warriors star reacts to leading the Warriors to 8th place in the Western Conference

Stephen Curry finished the season with yet another scoring outburst, finishing with 32 points in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Steph pulled out the Baron Davis celebration after finishing the night with 46 points. It was a fitting end to a season that could’ve yielded him his 3rd MVP trophy but for Nikola Jokic.
