Stephen Curry enacted the perfect revenge to Lou Williams' 50-point bomb against the Golden State Warriors, back on Jan. 10 — doing so in style and even clowning the L.A. Clippers' self-professed biggest fan, owner Steve Ballmer.

The Warriors sharpshooter caught fire in the third quarter, with his game in the zone, as he stole an inbounds pass by Tobias Harris, spotted up from the wing and tickled twine with a perfect rainbow three, as Ballmer tried to spook him by yelling at Curry from a few feet behind.

Curry turned and smiled at Ballmer, knowing his tactic had proven futile.

“Hey Jim, you know when you can yell at a billionaire?,” said Bob Fitzgerald of NBC Sports Bay Area on the call. “When you hit a three right in front of him — ‘Hey Steve Ballmer, take that with ya.'”

This wasn't the only brilliant shot Curry made in this game, making 14-of-19 field goals en route to a 44-point night during the 134-127 win over the Clippers — but he didn't seem destined for this kind of night, as he started a mere 1-of-4 from the field before hitting a ridiculous shot right before the first quarter expired.

Curry was 8-of-11 from distance, putting him level with backcourt teammate Klay Thompson with 186 on the season and threatening the likes of Paul George (190) and leader James Harden (206) for a sixth straight crown as the 3-point king of the league.

Nights like this one are bound to make it embarrassing for any opposing owner to witness, especially if they hope to rattle one of the world-class shooters that this league has ever seen.
