WATCH: Steph Curry hits ICONIC celebration after cold-blooded three-pointer against Portland T

Exhibiting peak performance, Stephen Curry propelled the Golden State Warriors to a crucial 110-106 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on their home turf. Scoring 31 points, he not only contributed with one assist but also secured five rebounds.

In a closely fought match, the Blazers took the lead with a score of 55-48 (7 points) at halftime. Transitioning to the second half, the Warriors managed to narrow the gap to 82-86 (4 points). The final quarter witnessed a remarkable comeback, spearheaded by Curry, as the Warriors surged ahead with a blazing performance.

Steph Curry with the “sleep-sleep” celebration

Entering the final 15 seconds, with the Warriors holding a mere one-point lead against the Trail Blazers, Curry, acclaimed as the NBA’s premier shooter, had a different plan. Executing a three-pointer after cleverly eluding Anfernee Simons of the Blazers, he ignited the crowd’s ecstatic cheers and reprised the “sleep-sleep” celebration from the 2022 NBA finals against the Boston Celtics.

This caused a frenzy on social media, especially X (formerly called Twitter). Below are fan’s reactions:

Against the blazers is crazy🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Warriors appear to be overly reliant on Curry’s performances. For the team to recover and regain its form from last season, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins must step up. Currently, Curry averages 29.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. The closest player to him is Klay Thompson who is averaging just 15.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. Hopefully, it isn’t too late for the Warriors.
