Stephen Curry was feeling himself when he dropped 50 points in Game 7 of the Warriors’ first-round series win over the Sacramento Kings, mocking Kings fans in the process.
Sacramento’s season-long war cry of ‘Light The Beam‘ was thrown back in their face, as Curry imitated hitting their beam button in their own arena while clinching the Game 7 win.

Curry usually has iconic moments of bragging over defeated opponents during his playoff runs in the past. Last season, we saw Curry’s ‘Night Night’ celebration become a worldwide phenomenon. This was to send the Kings a message, especially with the intense and physical nature of this series.
Can The Warriors Retain Their NBA Title?
If Golden State can pull off a championship defense in a season where they have looked average, it’ll be one of the most impressive feats in modern sports. Regardless of the fact that this core is mostly identical to last year’s title-winning squad, it’s impressive if they turn their season around in the playoffs after 82 games of barely avoiding the play-in tournament.
They are facing the LeBron James and Anthony Davis-led Lakers in the second round, a very challenging task. Just like how the Warriors are an atypical six seed, the Lakers are an atypical seven seed. The winner of the West could very well come from this series.
The path to a Warriors title won’t be easy, as they will either have to beat the Nuggets or Suns in the WCF if they beat the Lakers. Even after that, beating the winner of the East will be no piece of cake. They very well can retain their title, and if they do so, they should be revered as one of the most impressive titles of this Warriors era.
