The Golden State Warriors made their way to the Toyota Center to take on the Houston Rockets tonight. After winning five in a row, the Dubs wanted to extend their win streak, as they start the road trip, and they did just that. The Warriors took down the hosts 122-108.
The Warriors were up 61-52 at the half, and it looked like it would be another sub-par Stephen Curry night. He had 10 points, 5 assists, and 2 rebounds at the half while shooting 1/3 from the deep. However, something happened in the third quarter, that totally changed the course of the game. Kevin Porter Jr. got called for a foul on Steph, a call which he did not like. Instead of talking to the referee, he decided to trash talk Steph. Big mistake.
Warriors Twitter thanks Kevin Porter Jr for igniting Stephen Curry
As soon as Kevin Porter Jr talked his trash, the very next possession, Stephen Curry got a steal, and drained a triple.
Since the time KPJ talked his talk, Steph went for 24 points, 21 of them coming in the 4th quarter. He shot 5/8 from the deep during that time, and burned the Rockets. The Dubs fans took a moment to thank KPJ for his important contribution towards the same.
With Steph shooting the way he is since the last three games, the Dubs fans are hopeful that the worst shooting point of his career is towards an end.
We’ll have to see how Steph and the Warriors fare as they head to San Antonio to face the Spurs on a back-to-back.
