After a brief slump, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry finally got his shooting touch – and his mojo – back during Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. In that game, Curry exploded for 35 points on 13-for-23 shooting from the field with five makes from the 3-point region.
Perhaps relieved by the fact that he’s rediscovered his rhythm on offense, Curry was let out an f-bomb laced growl after making one of his many buckets in the game. When asked about what he thinks of the two-time league MVP using profanities from time to time, Warriors forward Kevin Durant had this amazing and hilarious reply in front of reporters, including Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated.

Kevin Durant himself had a solid night in Game 3’s huge 126-85 win. Last year’s Finals MVP recorded 25 points on 9-for-19 shooting with six assists and six rebounds, but for the first time in the series, it was not him who led the team in scoring with Curry finally coming alive.
Stephen Curry came out of the game’s second half with his hands aflame, as he shot 7-for-7 from the field for 18 points in the third quarter. Curry’s huge third quarter helped the Warriors pull away from Houston for a 41-point victory – the largest in Warriors franchise history in the playoffs.
Curry and the Warriors will look to go up in the series 3-1 this Tuesday at home, where Golden State has not lost a postseason game since 2016. Since then, the Warriors have gone 16-0.
