The Golden State Warriors were sliding ahead of their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on January 25. They had lost six of their last nine games before taking on the Grizzlies, a game which they managed to eke out in the final moments of the contest.
Golden State earned a 122-120 win over the Grizzlies thanks to a Jordan Poole layup in the final seconds. Before that play, though, Stephen Curry was ejected with just 1:14 left to go in the game. He got mad after Poole took a shot he seemingly believed to be ill-advised and threw his mouthguard into the crowd.
He was immediately ejected from the game, but Golden State prevailed, still managing to pick up the victory. After the game, a video tweeted by NBA on ESPN showed Poole mocking Curry in the back hallways of the arena. Poole threw his own mouthguard to the side in front of Curry before the two embraced in celebration, throwing a friendly jab at the Warriors superstar.

Ahead of his ejection, Curry was putting up amazing numbers for the Warriors. He ended the game with 34 points, two rebounds, three assists, and two steals on 10-of-19 shooting from the floor and 4-of-8 shooting from behind the three-point line.
