Steph Curry and Chris Paul went at it on Monday night when the Golden State Warriors defeated the Phoenix Suns 123-112. Sometime in the 2nd quarter, Paul tried to lockdown Curry, who was forcing his way into the basket. Despite playing with a recovering injured shoulder, Steph muscled his way to the rim and scored on both Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul.
The play had Steph Curry hyped up and started talking trash after the sequence. He even blurted out that it wasn't 2014 anymore, signifying that he's a different beast today compared to back then. This particular moment is now trending on social media since Hoops Central posted the video on Twitter. Fans love Curry's fired-up spirit and have some things to say about Chris Paul after the play.
