Ja's perfect tweet for Steph's diabolical 'night night' dagger originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Steph Curry put the Dallas Mavericks to bed on Friday night.
Down by as many as 19 points, Curry fueled the Warriors’ furious 126-117 comeback win and inserted the dagger into Dallas' hopes with a game-sealing 3-pointer with 36.2 seconds left to go up 2-0 in the Western Conference finals.
As the basketball flew out of his hand, Curry appeared to literally say “night night” to the Mavericks.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant, whose season was given the “night night” treatment when Golden State defeated the Grizzlies in six games in the Western Conference semifinals, seemed to enjoy the moment on Twitter.

Curry has pulled out the new move several times during the Warriors' playoff run this season.

Curry has been outstanding through two games of the Western Conference finals. He posted a double-double in Game 1 with 21 points and 12 rebounds, and he followed it up with a team-high 32 points in Friday’s victory.
Curry will get a chance to bid Mavericks fans a good night in-person during Game 3 at American Airlines Center on Sunday.
