Steph Curry Trolls James Harden in Post-Game Interview After Traveling Call

"I've seen it once of twice so I thought I would try it out myself..."

James Harden's current offensive hot streak has made him and his signature moves constant talking points. But if you're Steph Curry, some things just don't go your way as it has for the Beard.

The Harden step-back feels awfully close to a travel in the eyes of many. On Saturday, Curry tried to give that move a shot against the Sacramento Kings, but he got hit with the call.

Steph immediately began to insinuate that the refs might be unfairly letting Harden slide. Curry went over to the official to discuss the call and used his hands to turn the 30 on his jersey to Harden's 13. This troll continued after the final buzzer and into the locker room, where Curry fielded a question about the step-back and Harden reference.

"I've seen it once or twice so I thought I would try it out myself and obviously they got confused. They knew it was someone else so they called it," Curry responded.

Curry's cheeky antics follow Thursday's close contest between the Warriors and Rockets, where Golden State nearly won in overtime because of the refs' badly missed out-of-bounds call on Kevin Durant. Harden followed the mistake by hitting a game-winning 3-pointer over Draymond Green.
