Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors reacts out of court against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 11, 2021.

But on Thursday night, in the third quarter of a 130-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, TNT cameras captured Steph Curry giving what appeared to be – dare I say – a stimulating PG-13 conversation.
This is not a view most Dubs fans are used to, nor was it something color commentator Reggie Miller expected. “This may be the most excited I’ve ever seen during a game,” said Miller. “There is a sense of urgency here. It’s good to see that about Curry.”
The speech did not inspire a dramatic comeback – the Warriors were ultimately still smoked – but it made a good impression on social media. Steph’s sister Sydel tweeted that she could relate to the rest of the Golden State cast: “He got mad at me once, 7 years ago and I still feel like a terrible person lol.”
Curry had one of his worst games of the season against the Clippers, ending with 14 points in 27 minutes, but he and the rest of his teammates will have a chance to break a four-game losing streak against Utah Jazz on Sunday.
