Steph Curry returned to the Warriors lineup Monday night and did Steph Curry things, as a Steph Curry does.

Initially the injured MVP came off the bench, but after Shaun Livingston was ejected in the second quarter, Golden State needed Curry more than ever. It took him a while to get going, but then Curry went off in the fourth quarter and overtime as he scored 27 points.

In fact, Curry set the NBA playoff record for points by a single player in overtime and outscored the entire Trail Blazers team 17-14. The dagger 3-pointer came with just over a minute left to put the Warriors up 128-120, and that's when we saw Paul Allen's reaction.

Allen is the Trail Blazers owner and the co-founder of Microsoft. He's seen some things in his days, but nothing quite like Curry's performance Monday night. We were all amazed, but not all of us became memes.
