The daughter of Golden State Warrior guard Stephen Curry, who has [gone viral](http://time.com/3899691/stephen-curry-riley-curry/) for hamming it up at her dad’s post-game press conferences, made herself even more endearing to fans when she mimicked her dad’s signature chest bump and pointed to the sky before the game, which the Warriors won against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-100.

She also demonstrated her victory dance:

In an op-ed for TIME, the youngster’s mom Ayesha Curry wrote that she and Steph are trying to stick to a routine with their daughter while the games are going on. “If anything, the attention has brought us closer together and made us realize that through all of this, we need to remain balanced and relaxed, especially in our home with our daughter.”
