Stephen Curry is usually a pretty chill dude. However, this was not the case on Thursday night when the Golden State Warriors superstar belted out an animated tirade for his team as the Dubs were in the midst of a blowout courtesy of the Los Angeles Clippers. That rare show of emotion from Steph seems to have worked wonders for the Warriors, and teammate Draymond Green recently opened up about how Curry's onslaught has since had a significant impact on the team.
The Dubs scored a huge upset on Sunday against the league-best Utah Jazz, 131-119, and according to Green, the team's new mindset has a lot to do with Steph's recent outburst:

Green noted that Curry holds a lot of influence over Golden State's young players and his recent tirade was something they all took to heart:
“These guys have grown up watching Steph and so when you hear his voice it carries a lot of weight and I think that showed tonight on the defensive end,” Green said, via Nick Friedell of ESPN.
Curry also led by example on Sunday night, as he scored a game-high 32 points on what happened to be his 33rd birthday. The former back-to-back league MVP was in a more jovial mood after the victory, and he made sure to share a moment with his family after the game.
Curry is the leader of the Warriors both on and off the court. Whenever he says or does something, the rest of the team follows suit. Sunday's win against the Jazz is a big one for Golden State and hopefully for the Dubs, Curry's words of inspiration stick with them for the foreseeable future.
