Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was savaged by FOX Sports after suffering one of the worst scoring games of his NBA career.
Curry scored just three points on 1-of-10 shooting from the field during a 106-96 defeat to the Houston Rockets on Sunday, despite playing 33 minutes. As the best three-point shooter in NBA history, Curry’s one successful shot was from deep, but the veteran struggled all night after being hounded by Amen Thompson, who is emerging as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Meanwhile, Elon Musk looks ‘rattled’ as he’s brutally trolled during gaming livestream from his private jet.
Elsewhere, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James was given some minutes during a blowout win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and was able to nail a three-pointer in his two-minute cameo. In Monday’s episode of ‘First Things First’ on FOX Sports, a graphic was aired comparing the performances of Curry and James to highlight his off night.

It was a strange game for Curry, who instead provided eight assists to make up for his lack of shooting, but also had four turnovers. Heading into the game, Curry had scored 52, 37 and 36 points, but couldn’t get going against the Rockets.
Curry hit back with 25 points in a 133-95 win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, after losing his cool against Houston in a rare moment. Curry was seen chatting to Rockets head coach Ime Udoka throughout the game, and it was picked up by broadcasters.
“There is a lot of talking, there is a lot of conversation,” the Warriors’ broadcaster said. Curry complained to officials on several occasions after claiming missed foul calls, and it appears that Udoka’s game plan was based around physicality.
“Obviously [Curry had] been on a heater lately, and so we wanted to obviously pay him a little bit more attention,” Udoka said after the win. “When you got a special guy like Amen Thompson doing what he does, that’s the result.”
Rockets center, Alperen Sengun, claimed that Thompson had been focused on restricting Curry all day after holding Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to 22 points on Friday. “Amen wasn’t smiling all day. He was locked in,” Sengun said.
“Couldn’t even talk to him. He was locked in. Last two games he’s locking the best players in the world … best players in the league. That’s impressive in just his second year. He’s putting names over there in the Defensive Player of the Year.”

While the Rockets were celebrating Thompson’s performance, new Warriors star Jimmy Butler sided with Curry and continued to complain about missed foul calls after the game. “I’ve never seen an individual get fouled more than he gets fouled,” Butler said, referencing Curry.
“To me, I think it’s astounding. It’s crazy to say, but he’s used to it. It’s been happening to him his whole career, and he’s found a way through it, around it, under it, whatever you want to call it. That’s tough.”
Udoka proceeded to fire back in his post-game press conference, claiming that if players are crying about foul calls then the plan has worked effectively. “I was talking to my team about the physicality,” Udoka said. “When people start complaining about foul calls or crying about physicality, you’ve done your job.
“That’s the first step in winning the battle. So I told my team, when this team starts crying about it, up the intensity, up the aggressiveness, and make the refs adjust to you.”
