After draining several 3-pointers and lay-ups, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry got too hyped, maybe for his own good. He uncharacteristically blurted out an expletive while speaking to the crowd at Oracle Arena, telling them that this is his house.

After the game, he was immediately asked about his reaction, to which Curry admitted that he blacked out. As per Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports:
“I already know (the question). I already know. I blacked out. You want to use that energy to show your teammates that you're here, you're with them, and get the crowd into it.”

It was a big game for Curry who drained five 3-pointers in 12 attempts. He entered Game 3 on a bad note having gone 2-of-13 from downtown.
As reported by Ryan Ratto of NBC Sports Bay Area via Yahoo Sports, Steve Kerr wasn't worried at all about Curry. Sooner or later, he knew that he will bounce back, and he did:
“I thought he was pressing a little bit early…” head coach Steve Kerr said of Curry, “but he bounces back as well from bad games as anyone I've ever seen. I've seen this a lot of times, so no, I wasn't worried.”
Curry, for his part, shared how he was able to bounce back from the bad shooting performance:
“I've just been talking to myself. You have to be your biggest fan sometimes. You gotta find whatever it is to get you going, use that energy to let your teammates know you're with ‘em. I did my job tonight, and now I have to do it again.”
