The emotions were all over Steph Curry’s face, from the 8:24 mark in the first quarter of the Warriors’ 101-93 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, all the way through his postgame media session with reporters in the visiting locker room.

Draymond Green’s first-quarter ejection at Kia Center set Curry on a slow simmer and he boiled over in the final minute of the crucial win on the second night of a back-to-back.

“All I’ll say is, we need him,” Curry told reporters after the game when asked about Green’s untimely ejection, via The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “He knows that. We all know that. So whatever it takes to keep him on the floor and be available, that’s what’s got to happen. Especially this point in the year. So tough way to start the game.

“But I am extremely proud of every single person who stepped foot on the floor tonight and responded the way that they did because, back-to-back, a team as physical as they are, we got contributions from everybody and it was a beautiful team effort to respond the way that we did and get this win. Because we went and took it. That’s a big sign for us. A sign of growth to be able to respond that way.”

In the moments immediately after Green’s ejection, Curry’s visible frustration was caught by TV cameras.

“We know how important [this part of the season] is and our ability to get into a rhythm and secure a play-in opportunity and give ourselves a shot, you don’t want to have self-inflicted wounds when it comes to that,” Curry told reporters. “We all care. We’re all passionate about the game and our chances to have something to play for down the stretch. You give everything you got to this game and that’s the emotion.”

The Warriors are fighting to hang on to a Western…
