Steph Curry had the Chase Center crowd in awe, from dropping 25 points in the first quarter to his game-winning heroics late in the game, as the Warriors outdueled the Clippers 115-113.
Paul George learned a lesson Thursday night at Chase Center. It's never a good idea to challenge Steph Curry.
George was mic'd up during the Warriors' game against the Los Angeles Clippers and was caught challenging Curry to a shooting competition from the logo mid-game.

George: "Let's make it interesting. Let me get one. I give you one, you give me one."
Curry: "I ain't missed one yet."
George: "I'm from the logo with it."
Well, George messed around and found out.
With the Clippers leading 107-105 with two minutes remaining, Curry caught the ball at the logo with Marcus Morris Sr. guarding him and didn't hesitate, splashing the long-distance bomb to give Golden State a one-point lead. Curry followed that with another triple a minute later and the Warriors held on to win 115-113 behind Curry's 45-point barrage.
George probably thought those were "bad shots."

Challenging the greatest shooter in the history of the game to a shooting competition on a night where Curry made his first 10 shots and first five 3-pointers is an exercise in poor judgment.
If George didn't know that before he certainly found out the hard way Thursday night.
