The Golden State Warriors may have put up one of the most exciting preseason wins so far. The Warriors, who trailed for the entirety of the game, managed to rally back and win the matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Stephen Curry, who hit the game-winning shot, gave the Kings a flashback to their playoff battle before the season even started.

Stephen Curry, a father of three revealed his night routine in a post-game interview after hitting the dagger on the Kings. Not only did Curry hit the ‘night-night’ celebration but also left a bitter taste for Fox and the rest of the Kings roster.

The Sacramento Kings were in command right from the start, building up a lead to take the win. But Stephen Curry and the rest of the Warriors’ squad had something else in mind as the team barely won with a 116-115 final score.

In the last 10 seconds of the game, Curry called an isolation play on Fox and hit a three-point dagger to put the team up by one. Though there were still five seconds left on the clock, the Kings failed to get the last shot in.

Curry hit his signature ‘night-night’ celebration after sinking the shot over Fox, knowing very well that the game was over after that. During the post-game interview, The Chef credited his teammates for the contribution they had on the floor.

The commentators said that they had predicted Curry would hit a three instead of going for the two. That’s when he said, “With all the challenges and Mike Brown trying to get an extra possession, it’s time to go home. Put the kids to bed.”
