Stephen Curry is a cheat code, and that's not even the worst part for opponents. The Golden State Warriors star knows how to rub it in whenever he is killing the opposing side with his hot shooting and crafty shot-making.
That is exactly what happened on Sunday for the Memphis Grizzlies, as Curry torched them with 46 points on 16-of-36 shooting (9-of-22 from 3-point territory). In the closing stages of the contest after Ja Morant and co. trimmed the lead to single digits, the greatest shooter of all time put the dagger to their hearts with a cold-blooded triple.

As the announcer mentioned, Stephen Curry made sure add insult to the injury with an epic celebration he learned from former Warriors guard Baron Davis.
Stephen Curry. No words.

Steph is hyped, and who can blame him? The shot perfectly capped an awesome night that saw the Dubs seal the eighth seed in the Western Conference and a great advantage heading to the play-in tournament. Basically, finishing on that spot gives Golden State two chances at making the playoffs.
As an added bonus, Curry also officially claimed the scoring title for the season during Sunday's game. He was averaging 31.8 points prior to the final regular season game, but his 40-point explosion effectively sealed the deal.
It's Steph Curry's world, we're just living in it.
