In their latest regular season matchup, Curry had some words for Paul after he got the and-one on a layup.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d5d9ba2-a70e-439b-a411-852c88955e8a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94001dde-726d-43a1-bbb0-b0ad858f3f47","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.12260%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6bcb956b-fc33-4eba-9f4d-9e74d37c806a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-60.67243293971725%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Curry yelled out "This ain't 2014 anymore!" to the fans while pointing his finger at Paul.

[{"selector":"#anim-02a11652-b32e-4965-a5aa-589bd6625523","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.13652%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-686b8967-de80-481c-8405-d5b36129d865","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7e1cbca6-c77d-437f-8979-3cc9593d6fc2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-11.442708237620744%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Paul was baffled with Curry's trash talk and asked reporters if they knew what happened when they matched up nine years ago.

[{"selector":"#anim-ad8701ff-9c35-4510-bb66-4dc2580fb307","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11843318-ebb0-479f-8325-79df808b6ee4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -213.98778%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“Shi*t, I don’t know what happened in 2014. Y’all tell me, that was like nine years ago,” Paul said.

[{"selector":"#anim-af132647-2b89-4887-a5d4-22e3f72676e1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dcd5141e-3bc2-451b-83e5-804eef395658","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

What Curry alluded to was most likely about Paul's age or on what happened in the 2014 playoffs.

[{"selector":"#anim-de395cbd-6bbd-4806-88fa-c722e627643d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-64.94140615400296%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Paul was with the Clippers in 2014 when they eliminated the Warriors in the 1st round in an intense seven game series.

[{"selector":"#anim-cbe39291-7fa7-4ed6-9e26-821e49c5b9e8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-465522a6-a0af-4d29-b5ec-117981fee659","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a700cf69-1e9b-4fd2-bc75-7266c8d87f01 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(23.682758949283084%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Clippers win was also the last time Paul ever got the upper hand on Curry in the playoffs.

[{"selector":"#anim-2f501b1b-844f-43f6-892a-87676f51457e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6733917-6036-42e6-8086-b08db0dce70b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.81912%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85036c0c-4ccb-4999-801f-f777eff76607 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-15.448660618573124%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Curry never revealed why he said what he said, but you know Paul has something special planned for Curry on their next matchup.
