Stephen Curry went full savage mode in Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets after his clutch heroics helped the Golden State Warriors secure the win and the series.
With the Dubs leading 97-94, Curry delivered a clutch layup to extend their lead to five with just 29.9 seconds left in the clock. After banking what could be said as the game-sealing shot, Curry celebrated with a sleeping gesture to declare that it's time to say good night to the Nuggets:

Now that is brutal. Stephen Curry is a fan favorite because he rarely talks trash to his opponents, but when he does, it's just painful and too much. This was the second time in this series he did this celebration, and this time he put the Nuggets to bed for good.
For what it's worth, Curry has every right to do so. He was phenomenal throughout, finishing with 30 points on 45.5 percent shooting from the field and the 3-point line. He also had five rebounds, five assists and two steals in an incredible all-around effort for Golden State.
While Curry gave a rather vicious goodbye to the Nuggets, Nikola Jokic and co. certainly deserve credit. They made the Warriors work for the W, and they could have certainly won had they executed properly at crunch time.
The Warriors just have too much experience in high-pressure situations, and that was clear as they closed out Denver in a 102-98 win.
Steph and the Dubs now move to the Western Conference Semifinals, where they'll face the winner of the Memphis Grizzlies-Minnesota Timberwolves series.
