The Golden State Warriors took down the Phoenix Suns at the Chase Center on March 13, winning 123-112 in a game that never felt particularly close.
Klay Thompson led the way for Golden State with a game-high 28 points, shooting a ridiculous 8-of-14 from beyond the arc, and fellow superstar Steph Curry added 23 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the win. At several points during the game, Curry was matched up against the Suns’ 12-time All Star point guard Chris Paul, and he wound up getting the best of Paul on multiple occasions.
After taking the Suns point guard to the hoop, scoring on him and getting an and-one call on top of it, Curry had a blunt message for Paul that sent Twitter into a frenzy.

First, some context. Back in the spring of 2014, Paul played for the Los Angeles Clippers, who faced Curry and Golden State in the first round of the playoffs. The series was back-and-forth from the get-go, and ultimately, Paul and the Clippers won it in seven games, eliminating the Warriors.
That series must’ve been on Curry’s mind throughout the game, because cameras captured him looking in Paul’s direction “This ain’t 2014 no more.”

So far in March, Steph is shooting 50% from beyond the arc, 51% from the field and is averaging 31.0 points a game.
Chris Paul Responds to Steph’s ‘2014’ Comment
After the game, Paul was asked what his thoughts were regarding Curry’s on-court comments, and in a video shared by Dwayne Rankin of AZ Central, the veteran appeared baffled by it all.
“S***, I don’t know what happened in 2014,” . “Y’all tell me — 2014, that was like nine years ago. What happened?”
