The Golden State Warriors earned a huge 128-121 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers this past weekend.
Needless to say, the win didn’t come without controversy.
Between Golden State getting a 40-second shot clock from officials, Anthony Davis suffering a potentially season-ending eye injury, and LeBron James’ encounter with a pretty courtside fan causing a hubbub, it was one thing after another.
Because so much ended up happening on Saturday night, one of the things that flew under the radar was Stephen Curry mercilessly taunting D’Angelo Russell during the outing.
DLo was talking trash to Steph from the bench last night.

Shortly thereafter, a video with narration emerged:
LEAKED Audio Of Steph Curry Trash Talking D’Angelo Russell👀:
Curry: “Come on, come on!”
DLo: “Hell no, go at his a**!”
Then, after Curry hit a three, he told DLo: “Get your b*tch a** on the court”
Lastly, Curry asked: “who you’re talking to?” after Klay & DLo exchanged words pic.twitter.com/bFtD0joeT3

Understandably, NBA fans had some strong reactions to Curry’s trash talk for Russell:
Didn’t know Curry had that dawg in him

DLo is not a newbie. All those years in the league, as his teammate even, he still doesn’t know what not to say to the Babyface Assassin 🍿

Big picture, Russell has been having himself a busy few days.
Mind you he is fresh off a beef with former Lakers teammate Dennis Schroder, too.
Schroder’s latest salvo in their war of words caused something of a stir late last week.
Will Russell’s new, more aggressive demeanor ultimately pay dividends for the Lakers as they try to salvage what is left of their season? Time will tell.
