The Golden State Warriors’ Human Torch had lately been going through a rough patch. Stephen Curry needed a spark to revive his game after having difficulty with his shooting efficiency early this year. But what eventually happened on the floor against the Houston Rockets was more than simply a comeback for Curry. It was a stark warning that pushing him to extreme might have fatal consequences.

And Kevin Porter Jr. learned that fact in a hard way. He tried to trash-talk the Chef, but instead of answering with words, Curry let his actions speak volumes.

When Stephen Curry humbled Kevin Porter Jr.

Despite acceptable surface-level numbers, Curry’s shooting splits and true shooting percentage were well below his customary levels. This started casting doubt on his ability to effectively lead his team. 39 percentage from the field, 33 from beyond the arc, and 89 from the free-throw line, combined with a 58.6 True Shooting percentage, were all uncharacteristically low for an NBA superstar of Curry’s caliber.

But the Baby Faced Assassin got the spark he needed in a game against the Houston Rockets in an unlikely situation. Kevin Porter Jr., a young and aggressive player known for his combative personality, mocked and mean-mugged Curry and made him unstoppable. Curry opted not to reply to Porter’s provocations openly, but he was listening. He reacted on both sides of the court, making Porter and his team’s life miserable.
