In basketball, trolling is a standard part of how opponents try to rile each other up, but one has to be careful when the troll backfires.

Tari Eason tried one such troll against the Golden State Warriors in tonight’s game. Stephen Curry made sure the troll backfired as he destroyed the Houston Rockets and savagely mocked Eason. And fans are having the time of their lives watching this unfold.

The Houston Rockets, with a 13-2 run, had closed the gap to the Golden State Warriors in the battle for the final play-in spot.

Tonight, they had the golden chance to gain the upper hand in that battle. Therefore, Tari Eason decided to use a troll to inflict emotional damage. He wore a t-shirt with a quote from the movie ‘The Warriors.’

Warriors, come out to play.

The quotes reads

In response, the Warriors beat them by 23 points, and Stephen Curry had the perfect answer for Eason’s jab. He savagely trolled the Rockets forward by holding up his hand and wearing three bottles on his fingers.

It was the perfect backfiring jab for a troll. After all, the narrative in the past few weeks was that the Warriors would lose the play-in spot to the Rockets. However, Stephen Curry and Co. ensured they had the last laugh with their leading superstar helming his team.

The win ensures that the Warriors maintain a 4-game lead over the Rockets with six games left in the regular season. Even if the Rockets try their best, the Warriors have seemingly ensured that they have a spot in the post-season.

Stephen Curry’s jab at Tari Eason’s expense has fans in splits

Basketball fans love a good karmic retribution story in sports. Karmic returns are available aplenty in sports history.

They are the most watched videos on platforms as they provide both sides of entertainment, which is not available in normal life. Therefore, when Tari Eason’s troll backfired, fans jumped onto social media to share in the fun.

Social media is filled with comments, as Stephen Curry and his Golden State Warriors took the troll as motivation and handed the Rockets a famous defeat.

Sharing a wide spectrum of actions online, here’s what fans have to say:

Had the Houston Rockets not provoked the Warriors, it is quite possible they could have at least had a chance at a win. However, they chose to approach the game in the worst way possible, which is to poke a bear.
