There’s no Warriors player who gets as excited on such a consistent basis like Stephen Curry. The man is a ball of positive energy, and when Klay Thompson slams down a dunk with less than two hands, you can be sure Curry will be excited – sometimes, on nights like tonight, a little too excited.
And, just like when Curry was excited for wide-open dunk attempt against the Los Angeles Lakers, that excitement can backfire (although this time, Curry couldn’t blame perspiration for the fall):

When Klay went up for the rare one-handed slam, Curry lost his mind and, with a towel in hand, got up from the bench to celebrate. Whether it was the speed, the lack of balance, or just the misplaced towel, Curry went down fast, and in hilarious fashion. The cameras almost missed the debacle, panning back to the game as if it never happened.
