On Sunday night, Stephen Curry took all the criticism him and the Warriors had faced the past year and turned it into a ridiculous, 62-point scoring performance in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
For Curry, the 62-point onslaught broke his previous career high of 54 points in 2013 against the Knicks. It also had Klay Thompson beat.
Thompson scored 60 points in a game back in 2016 against the Pacers, and immediately after the game, Thompson was gracious to welcome Curry to the 60-point club.
But come Monday, Klay had some fun with Curry’s scoring mark and posted a clip from Happy Gilmore to show how he’s really feeling.

So good.
Well, to be fair to Klay, he probably would have broken that 62-point mark had he not sat out the final nine minutes of his Jan. 23, 2015 game against the Kings. You know, the game that included his 37-point third quarter. He ended up scoring 52 points in that game.
Sounds like the perfect rebuttal to me.
