Warriors superstar Steph Curry was comfortable in the first half of Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, punctuating his 16-point half with one of his patented no-look turnaround 3-pointers.
Curry’s 3-pointer capped a 10-0 run by the Warriors and gave them a 43-42 lead at the American Airline Center, forcing Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd to call a time-out.
Curry celebrated by sticking his tongue out while running down the court when the time-out was called.
It seems the Mavericks didn’t appreciate Curry’s celebration, resulting in players from both teams having to be separated.
Teammates just had to forcefully stop Luka Doncic from attacking Jordan Poole and Draymond Green.
Tim Hardaway Jr. and Reggie Bullock also join the shouting.

Luka Doncic had some words for Juan Toscano-Anderson during the time-out and was stopped from looking him in the face. Draymond Green and Tim Hardaway Jr. then exchanged mean words from about 40 feet away.

Cooler heads prevailed as Draymond Green and Curry spoke to Mavericks star Luka Dončić before play resumed in Game 3.
In related news, Andre Iguodala reacted just like every single member of Dub Nation when Curry hit the no-look-3 pointer.
Curry and the Warriors went into the dressing room at halftime, 48-47.
