Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry went nuclear during the third quarter of their 113-87 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
The Warriors' Twitter account hyped up the two-time MVP's second-half explosion, saying he's “a baaaaad man.” Ayesha Curry, Stephen Curry's wife, could not agree more.

Ayesha and Warriors Nation have seen this movie all too many times in the past, and it seems like the seven-time All-Star isn't slowing down any time soon.
Stephen Curry had a pretty rough first half against the Rockets, scoring just seven points on 2-of-12 shooting overall and 2-of-10 from three. After the intermission, Curry turned things around had another of his Curry Flurries. The three-time NBA champion went for 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including five 3-pointers, in the third quarter alone.
Led by Curry's explosive period, the Warriors went on a 22-0 run and broke the game wide open after trailing by six through the first 24 minutes. With the Golden State bench keeping the comfortable lead throughout the final quarter, the Dubs were able to give Curry the rest of the night off through the final 12 minutes.
Overall, Curry finished the game with yet another 30-point outing, to go along with six rebounds and five assists.
More importantly, the Warriors were able to make it back to the win column. Golden State needs every win it can get from this point on, as they continue to fight for a postseason berth. While they are still right in the mix for a play-in spot, they would ideally want to nab one of the 7th or 8th seeds to get a higher chance of getting into the playoffs.
