The Golden State Warriors have been rolling as of late, winning their last eight games and beating their opponents on the road by a margin of 15.5 points per game.
The team came off their biggest win of the season after a 37-point annihilation of the injury-riddled Indiana Pacers that just didn't have enough to stop a red-hot Klay Thompson, who scored 25 points in 26 minutes, getting the fourth quarter off as the team had built up a 29-point lead.
Teammate Stephen Curry was asked by one of the pool reporters post-game how his running mate got his groove back, and he couldn't resist but to pull a movie reference on them.
.@ROSGO21 asked Stephen Curry how Klay Thompson got his groove back? Steph said, "same way Stella did." I said "I hope not." Curry: "Maybe."

Curry's reference is a nod to 1998 romantic-comedy “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” where a 40-year-old loveless stockbroker takes a trip to Jamaica with her best friend, only to have an island fling with a 20-something young man.
Thompson has been hot from the field after a horrid 3-of-28 from deep to start the season. The 6-foot-7 sharpshooter has shot 50 percent or better from the floor in seven of eight games during the Warriors' league-best winning streak, including 41.2 percent from deep.
Hopefully he didn't have to have a fling with Taye Diggs to get his shot back, though…
