All-Star point guard Steph Curry played 28 minutes in this game. It was a solid showing for Curry who finished with 16 points, five rebounds, and six assists. Curry has made four preseason appearances, averaging 11.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 18.3 minutes per game.
Wednesday's game was played at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, giving fans in that area an opportunity to see NBA basketball again after Summer League.
Curry had some incredible plays in this game, but one moment that caught the attention of NBA fans came after the whistle.
Unhappy with Lakers guard Austin Reaves, Curry mocked him for flopping.

"STEPH MOCKING AUSTIN REAVES FLOP," BricksCenter wrote.
This moment was shared by Bleacher Report on TikTok, and their post went viral. Tallying over one million views and over 100,000 likes, Bleacher Report shared the clip to their 8.5 million followers on the platform.
"Steph wasn’t feeling this foul call," Bleacher Report wrote in their post.
The NBA has implemented new rules in recent seasons to limit some of the flopping players get away with, but Curry still feels Reaves got away with one on Wednesday.
