WATCH: “He is done with this team” – Stephen Curry RIPS Warriors jersey after 46-point show out goes in vain against Lakers
Stephen Curry carried the Warriors through regulation and two overtime segments, but the Warriors ended up losing by 1 point.
Stephen Curry is going through a lot this season. Tonight, he posted his highest points in a game this season. But it was not enough for his Golden State Warriors to get the win. He showed his emotions after the game, as basketball fans responded with empathy.
The game against the Los Angeles Lakers was dubbed a must-watch in the ‘Rivalry Week’. The game featuring the league’s two best superstars going head-to-head was the highlight of the day. Curry and LeBron James did not disappoint. But how the game ended, did not bring out the best of emotions from Curry.
Losing by one point and that too due to free throws, proved too much for Curry to handle. While walking towards the tunnel, Curry was seen ripping his jersey while letting out a scream.
Anyone who puts up such a performance and then loses the game by the slimmest of margins is bound to be hurt. Curry took the Warriors to double overtime, which showed his unwillingness to lose the game. But still, it was not enough as the Warriors lost to the Lakers 144-145.
Curry posted a season-high 46 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists to lead the Warriors. Draymond Green combined with Curry on a pick-and-roll setup to get Curry off his defender in the final 10 seconds of the second overtime period. Curry shot the go-ahead three-pointer with the screen from Green. The clock had 4.7 seconds left. Curry thought he had it. But it was not to be.
