Stephen Curry willed the Golden State Warriors to back-to-back wins on Wednesday night with a crucial 101-93 victory over the Orlando Magic. As usual, it was the former back-to-back MVP who closed it out for the Dubs as he delivered the final nail in the coffin on Wednesday night.
Steph did not only bust out his famed night-night celebration after hitting the dagger trey with 33.8 seconds remaining but he also decided to kick out a few chairs as he headed to the bench for a timeout.
Golden State Warriors Star Stephen Curry’s Burst of Emotion
Curry ended up scoring the final points of the ballgame when he drained his third triple of the night with half a minute remaining in the final quarter. This gave the Warriors an eight-point lead, which meant that there was just no coming back for the Magic in this one:
Curry went full savage in his reaction to the shot as he mocked the Orlando crowd with his put-them-to-sleep celly. He then decided to knock some chairs over on the bench in a rather uncharacteristic burst of emotion.
Speaking to the press after the win, a relieved Curry said that he just needed to blow off some steam at that point in the game:
“I was letting out a little steam,” Curry said, via Kendra Andrews of ESPN. “Nothing is guaranteed in this league. The way that we went out and competed … the way the season is going, maybe it’s the way you see how your back is against the wall. I don’t know how many people would have picked us in this kind of game — back-to-back setting, down two starters — and we found a way to fight to get a win.”
You can clearly see how much this win meant to Curry as the Dubs continue to hold off the Houston Rockets (winner of 10 straight games) for the 10th and final Play-In spot in the West.
