Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry had a phenomenal game on Tuesday, as the Dubs beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 134-125.
It was a tight game throughout, with the two teams tied at 103-all at the end of the third quarter. Naturally, emotions were high, especially since both the Warriors and Grizzlies need every win they can get to secure an qualifying spot in the playoffs.
With that said, it certainly didn't come as a surprise when tensions arose late in the game.
Curry was seen getting into it with Desmond Bane after the Grizzlies guard hit the Warriors sharpshooter and stripped the ball away from him while he was taking a shot in a dead-ball situation.
As seen in a NBCS video that is quickly going viral, Curry confronted Bane with 20 seconds remaining on the clock. The superstar guard got into Bane's face before their teammates and a referee stopped them.

Despite the heated moment, Steph Curry definitely had the last laugh. Not only did the Warriors win, but he also made history in the process.
Curry dropped 52 points on 16-of-31 shooting from the field, allowing him to climb up the all-time list for most 50-point games. With his 12-of-20 shooting from deep, he also broke his tie with Klay Thompson for the most games (four) with at least 12 triples.
As the Warriors announced, Curry further made history by surpassing Jerry West for No. 25 on the all-time scoring list.
Indeed, despite the tense moment he had, it was quite the memorable day for Chef Curry.
