Steph Curry has to live vicariously through his young Warriors teammates for the next three months.
After watching a pair of duds, Curry finally had a reason to celebrate Monday as Golden State beat the Portland Trail Blazers 127-118 behind a career-high 34 points from second-round draft pick Eric Paschall.
Curry was jacked up about Paschall's big first quarter, and after the game, Curry posted this image from his home.
After losing the first four regular-season games at Chase Center, the Warriors finally got to celebrate in their new building.

With Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and D'Angelo Russell out, Paschall is getting a chance to play heavy minutes and he taking full advantage of the opportunity.
In Monday's win, Paschall played 40 minutes and went 11-of-19 from the field. He also made 4-of-6 from 3-point range and grabbed 13 rebounds.

By the way, it was also Paschall's 23rd birthday on Monday.
It was a banner day for the rookie and no one was happier for him that Curry.
