The Golden State Warriors went big on Tuesday night, catching fire late to grab a win against the New York Knicks. The Dubs completed impressive back-to-back wins, overcoming Saturday’s disappointing loss. At Madison Square Garden, Stephen Curry did what he does best—put on a show. But amid his electric performance, there was a split-second hesitation that left even Draymond Green amused.

Curry scored a solid 28 points along with nine assists shooting 55.6 percent from the three, taking his personal record at the Garden to 12-1. Beyond his stellar performance, one small but intriguing moment stole the spotlight. During the fourth quarter, with around 1:30 remaining on the clock, Curry hit one of his special clutch three-pointers extending the Warriors’ lead to 108-97. But what followed was an unexpected moment that had fans buzzing.

After hitting the three, Curry ran back toward the Dubs half with a smile on his face. He faced a wholesome dilemma, about whether to hit his trademark ‘night-night’ celebration or not. The 36-year-old seemingly said, “Should I, should I not?” talking to the bench. Well, the birthday boy and Curry’s confidant, Draymond Green thinks he should’ve. After the win, Green to Instagram reposted ESPN’s clip of the same incident. He wrote, “I suppose so! @stephencurry30” Suggesting his teammate should’ve hit the ‘night-night’ celebration.

Well, he also added, “Show up @lovehazelrenee” as he apparently sent an inside-joke sort of message to his lovely wife Hazel Renee. While Green’s message to his wife isn’t clear, he celebrated his 35th birthday in style, finishing the game with eight points, nine rebounds, and eight assists. After the game, the Warriors’ veteran big man also had a special celebration, in which he reminded his teammates of his wish by using an exact number of candles on his cake.

Draymond Green reminds teammates of his wish while celebrating his 35th birthday after a win over the Knicks

Warriors superstar, Draymond Green turned 35 years old on Tuesday. So, naturally, a special day requires a special celebration. While the Dubs gave their amazing gift to Green by defeating the Knicks, Green had his own idea for a special gift. What? You might be wondering. Well, after the game, the whole Warriors crew celebrated Draymond’s birthday in the locker room. And as we know every birthday celebration requires a cake.

It was through the cake that Green let his teammates know about his actual wish. He pointed out, “There’s five candles,” and added, “Y’all know what my wish is.” Well, if you didn’t get it. The five candles represent the championships Green aims to win with the Warriors. He has four in his bag at the moment and has already expressed his aspirations to add a fifth to the tally. He’s so confident that he declared that live on national television.

During the All-Star weekend, he said the Warriors are going to win the championship. Well, at the time, not many took the comment well and shook it off. But, it seems Draymond Green wasn’t just saying anything out of the blue. On the contrary, he believes that the addition of Jimmy Butler has just made them favorites to win it all this season.

The Warriors are heating up at just the right time, with Curry locked in and Green reinforcing their championship mentality. But as Draymond subtly hinted at his ultimate goal—ring number five—one question remains: Can this Warriors squad truly turn momentum into another title run? If their recent performances are any indication, they just might
