The Golden State Warriors have had a shaky season from the start. They gained momentum at the later stages of the year, but currently are still struggling to find their feet. Stephen Curry returned to the squad a week ago but couldn’t live up to his standards until Monday night. The four-time NBA Champion delivered a stellar performance alongside his confidant and fellow superstar who had a different motivation than others. A motivation which was a reason for fans’ excitement all around Twitter.

Draymond Green switched gears in the middle of the game because of a fan sledging the superstar. Green was ultimately happy with the encounter because it motivated him to perform better.
