Golden State faced the Celtics on Tuesday on TNT’s NBA coverage, and Curry had to put in a heroic effort to get the win.
The Warriors entered the game on a two-game winning streak but were still missing star Draymond Green to suspension.
Golden State found themselves trailing by 11 going into the fourth quarter, but Curry was able to spark a rally.
He finished with 33 points, 20 of which came in the fourth quarter and overtime, on 6-for-11 3-point shooting.
Curry sealed the game late with a high-arching triple late in overtime from Chris Paul in their 132-126 win.
After the game, Curry was asked his thoughts on playing in high-pressure situations, and he responded by being sarcastic in a hilarious and awkward exchange with TNT courtside reporter Allie LaForce’s question.
LaForce: “How much do you live for these late-game pressure moments?”
Steph Curry: “You probably shouldn’t ask me that.
NBA fans rushed to social media with reactions to Curry’s late-game performance and comments after the match.
This fan stated: “I was told he doesn’t hit clutch shots though…”
Another felt: “Steph Curry’s response to Allie LaForce’s question is a slam dunk of self-awareness! It’s like he’s saying, ‘Pressure? What Pressure? I’m too busy making it rain 3-pointers to notice!”
A third: “Unbelievable yet believable. Steph Curry is awesome.”
A fourth said: “Curry is hilarious to that response. He has the clutch gene.”
A fifth declared: “Now I want that same energy from everyone who was slandering him for having 7 pts the game before!”
