Steph reveals why he hit ‘night night' celly so early in Warriors' win originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Steph Curry typically saves his famous “night night” celebration for the closing moments of a Warriors win, but on rare instances it will make an early appearance.
Sunday was one of those occassions, as Golden State routed the Dallas Mavericks 126-102 at Chase Center on the same day longtime Warrior Andre Iguodala saw his No. 9 jersey retired by the franchise.
After hitting a 3-pointer to extend the Warriors’ lead over the Mavericks to 93-69 with 2:48 remaining in the third quarter, Curry broke out his signature celebration well before fans are accustomed to seeing it.But it’s not the first time Curry’s night night celebration made a premature appearance, as the Warriors star previously flexed on the Boston Celtics with it during the third quarter of Golden State’s series-clinching Game 6 win in the 2022 NBA Finals.
“It’s not the first time I did that. I did that in the Finals,” Curry told reporters after Sunday’s win.
So what exactly prompted the early use against the Mavericks? According to Curry, it was directly related to a previous encounter with a player on the Mavericks.
“To whatever the question is, it’s just a moment I had with someone on the other side, longer story,” Curry said.
Could Curry possibly be alluding to Mavericks forward P.J. Washington mocking Curry’s celebration after Dallas’ win over the Warriors on Feb. 12?
