Warriors Suffer 136–138 Defeat to OKC Despite Stephen Curry’s Extraordinary Efforts, Hindered by Draymond Green’s Unnecessary Fouls
Golden State has suffered two overtime losses this season at the hands of the Thunder, and both goals have been sent into OT by Chet Holmgren. In the final seconds of this game, a stunning 3-pointer by Steph Curry gave the Warriors a 3-point lead. However, Drymond Green committed a foul on Holmgren from beyond the arc. Holmgren equalized the game with three made free throws. Curry’s failed three-point attempt while leading Lu Dort one-on-one in the final seven seconds of regulation was decisive and sent the game into overtime.

Cory Joseph stood as the sole Warriors player without a turnover, while eight of the ten Warriors who observed the court did not allow even one turnover.
