LOOK: Steph Curry trolls Luke Walton after Warriors' dominant win over Lakers
Steph Curry has some fun at his former coach's expense

Looking as dominant as ever, the Golden State Warriors absolutely demolished the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, winning by 43 points. The Lakers probably had no chance to begin with, as they were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and were without D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle. But Golden State was simply sensational, dishing out a franchise-record 47 assists and scoring 149 points as part of a crazy stat night around the NBA.
Winners of nine straight, the Warriors are clicking on all cylinders,and the memory of losing to the Lakers y 20 in Los Angeles before the streak started likely motivated Golden State to deliver such a beating. Lakers coach Luke Walton also added some fuel to the fire by telling reporters on Tuesday that the Warriors should be "nervous" about playing against his team.
Walton told Lakers only they & SAS have beat GSW - and LAL did it last: "So (GSW is) probably the ones that are a little nervous right now."

Well the Warriors were clearly anything but nervous, and Stephen Curry decided to have some fun at Walton's expense after the game:
Walton, who was a Warriors assistant for a couple of years and famously led Golden State to a 24-0 start last year in Steve Kerr' absence, is still beloved in Golden State and received a loud ovation from the crowd. But Curry's Instagram caption -- "Hey Luke, welcome back to Oracle..." -- is just a great dig at how poorly Walton's return went.
Curry is of course just joking around with Walton, as they have that type of relationship. But unfortunately for Walton, his Lakers have to play the Warriors again in their next game on Friday. Good luck with that.
