To defeat the team, many teams have tried their best. Since every team plays at the highest level of competition, it sometimes makes things ugly and difficult between teams and players. A similar thing happened between Steph and Chris Paul during the Playoffs of 2019.
Stephen Curry fires at Chris Paul
Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors were facing Chris Paul’s Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semi-finals. Both the teams played on the highest level and with the spot to conference finals on the line, the series was a tough one.
In the midst of this, an incident happened at the Toyota Center, Houston. During game 6, the Warriors were visiting Houston to take a chance at closing the series by winning and taking the 4-2 lead. Locked in with one and only motive of winning the series, Curry had booked the court for an hour ahead of the match to do some shooting practice.

However, Chris Paul found out about this, traveled to the court early, and took over. He even refused Curry’s offer to split the court in half so that both of them could practice. This infuriated Curry. He thus couldn’t practice before the important match.
Curry must’ve felt the pinch about the same in-game too, when he went through the whole first half with zero points. However, the Chef started cooking in the second half and scored an impressive 33 points in the second half to take his team home. Winning by a lead of 118-113, Curry exclaimed, “Kick me off the court again, boy.”
