Stephen Curry lit up the court in the Golden State Warriors’ 95-85 playoff win over the Houston Rockets—and while fans cheered and headlines raved, one reaction stood out without saying a single word.
Ayesha Curry, Steph’s wife, didn’t pen a long tribute or post a celebratory caption. Instead, she let two Instagram Stories do the talking. Both videos—reposted from the Warriors’ official account—captured vintage Steph moments: deep threes, smooth moves, and impossible shots made to look easy.
In the first clip, Curry pulls up for a three after shaking off Alperen Sengun and Fred VanVleet. The Warriors captioned it, “Poetry in motion.” In the second, he sidesteps Amen Thompson and drills a long-range jumper like it’s just another day at the office.
No text. No emojis. Just the reposts. And yet, they carried all the love, admiration, and pride Ayesha has always shown for her husband. It’s not the first time she’s used her platform to celebrate his highs—or support him during lows—but this time, the silence said it all.
The Curry-Butler Effect
Much of the buzz around this playoff run isn’t just about Steph. The February 5 addition of Jimmy Butler has brought new energy to the Warriors—and it’s showing up on the scoreboard.
Against Houston, Curry (37) and Butler (35) combined for 56 points, more than half of the team’s total. Their on-court chemistry is undeniable, and they’ve quickly adapted to head coach Steve Kerr’s system. Butler’s experience and grit seem to complement Curry’s finesse and leadership perfectly.
With age-defying performances and seamless teamwork, the Warriors may have found their winning formula. The question now is: can Steph and Jimmy keep the magic alive in Game 2?
