Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors controls the ball against Avery Bradley and Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Lakers during the second half of a game at Staples Center.

For three-and-a-half quarters, the Golden State Warriors and their fanbase were able to forget that a player who was on their roster just a few days prior was now sitting on the opposing Los Angeles Lakers bench.

But then Kent Bazemore got into foul trouble, which meant that it was time to shine for veteran guard Avery Bradley, and shine he did in his limited action on Tuesday.

This particularly concerned some Warriors fans who recognized that this kind of performance was one that could have happened for Golden State instead.
