Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry silenced his doubters and reignited a simmering rivalry with Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown in Tuesday night's thrilling overtime victory. After Brown's "too small" celebration in the third quarter, Curry erupted in the final period and overtime, pouring in 20 points and allegedly firing back with some heated words.

The animosity between Curry and Brown dates back to 2017, and the Celtics star's on-court taunt clearly struck a nerve. Curry responded by taking over down the stretch, culminating in a dagger 3-pointer with 10.6 seconds left in overtime to seal the 132-126 win. He finished with 33 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 6 3-pointers on a sizzling 52.4% shooting, showcasing his championship pedigree.

Adding fuel to the fire, leaked audio from the game reportedly captured Curry's alleged retort to Brown's celebration. "F**k, yeah! But I'm small?" he is said to have said, injecting extra intensity into his signature "night night" celebration after draining the game-winner.

Veteran teammate Chris Paul also played a role in Curry's fiery response. Leaked audio suggests he urged the two-time MVP to "finish that motherf**ker," further amplifying the competitive spirit on the court.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wasn't surprised by Curry's clutch performance, calling it "just the kind of stuff he does." This win marks the third consecutive victory for Golden State, while Boston's five-game winning streak came to a halt.

Both teams look to get back on track in their next games: Boston takes on the Sacramento Kings, while Golden State hosts the Washington Wizards. The Curry-Brown rivalry promises to remain a captivating storyline as these two teams meet again in the future.
