Steph’s chest bump chronicles

The Warriors were not impressive offensively, but their defense was wonderful. They struggled to get points in (even Steph) for the first three-quarters of the game. However, after Curry received a technical for arguing with a referee because he didn’t call out a foul, the superstar had enough.

After that, the fourth quarter was all about him. In all of the first three quarters, the 33-year-old could only put up 20 points.

When it mattered the most, he was draining three consecutive shots from the arc within 90 seconds. He finished the night with a total of 33 points, 6 assists, 6 steals, and 5 rebounds.

However, nothing comes close to Steph Curry when he celebrates his achievements.

With six minutes left in the last quarter, the point guard drained another one of his majestic three-pointers. After the bucket went in, he celebrated by giving one of his own teammates a chest bump that looked quite painful.

At this point, everyone just wanted him to do his thing and get the Warriors past the finish line as the winners. He fulfilled the wishes of the Dubs’ fans.
