OAKLAND–It’s not exactly a big game, but don’t tell that to Steph Curry.
Sure, the Chicago Bulls have a 3-13 record and entered Friday evening in last place in the Eastern Conference, but the Warriors’ point guard is fired up. Spurred in part by tight defense from Bulls’ guard Kris Dunn, Curry has served as Golden State’s energetic leader on Friday, kicking the team’s offense into high gear and riling up an Oracle Arena crowd desperate to feel involved.
Midway through the second quarter, Curry found a way to bring the fans to their feet, as his crossover followed by a three-point basket elicited a huge roar from the Warriors’ faithful. After releasing the ball, Curry began his celebration before his shot found the net, and once it did, the party ensued.
Curry offered up his signature shimmy, which led into a Bulls’ timeout and an immediate stoppage in play that allowed the Warriors’ star to bask in the glory of his shot.
