Like most of Dub Nation, Ayesha Curry was excited over the Warriors' win over the Heat on Wednesday night (Thursday IST). Ayesha wrote "Daggggerrrrrrr" after Curry's shot. 

Eventually, Ayesha's response made it to Curry's postgame interview. Curry was told that Ayesha tweeted the word after the game, and asked how often do they interact after games. Curry's reaction was a little confused. "She's my wife," Curry answered, asking what does the question mean. He later added that she lends him the utmost support, even asking if they were trying to get him in trouble.
