LATEST REPORT: “Get Your Bitch A** On The Court”: Steph Curry Drops Mic In Leaked Audio Spat With D’Angelo Russell
The Saturday night showdown between the Golden State Warriors and the LA Lakers was one to remember, especially with Stephen Curry’s highly anticipated return to the court after missing three games. Known affectionately as the “Baby-faced Assassin,” Curry brought an intensity rarely seen.
Although Curry started the first half a bit slow, he found his groove in the second half, particularly heating up in the third quarter. His highlight moment came when he drained a challenging three-pointer, drew a foul, and converted it into a four-point play. However, what really stirred conversation was his celebratory moment.
As he glanced toward the Lakers bench, there was a noticeable fire in Curry’s eyes. A leaked audio revealed the reason behind it, as Russell from the sidelines could be heard urging his teammates to stop Curry. This prompted Curry’s memorable response after sinking another crucial three-pointer and drawing a foul over Rui Hachimura: “Get your bitch a** on the court.” He followed it up with a pointed question, “Who you’re talking to?” after some exchange of words between Klay Thompson and D’Angelo Russell.
Despite having been former teammates during their time with the Warriors, Curry and D’Angelo Russell’s court time together was limited. Russell joined the team through a sign-and-trade deal that saw Kevin Durant move to the Brooklyn Nets and was later traded to the Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins.
Russell, now playing for the Lakers, has been performing exceptionally well lately, contributing 23 points and 13 assists in the game. His season averages include 17.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists.
However, the spotlight remained on Curry, who, despite nursing an ankle sprain, delivered when it mattered most, scoring 31 points with an impressive shooting percentage of 50.0%. This performance was crucial for the Warriors, given the stakes of the game.
Both teams were vying for play-in tournament and playoff seedings, with the Warriors and Lakers having 31 losses each. The Warriors, trailing slightly behind the Lakers in terms of win-loss record, needed this victory, especially with a rematch scheduled for Apr. 3.
Curry’s standout performance not only secured the win for the Warriors but also helped them maintain an edge over the Lakers, despite LeBron James’ remarkable 40-point effort.
