Stephen Curry leads the Golden State Warriors to a thrilling victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Stephen Curry scored 30 points, including the game-winning layup in the final seconds, to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 141-139 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA in-season tournament game on Friday.
Draymond Green made contact with the rim as Curry's ball was going through the basket.
Green's contact was deemed "not to cause the ball to take an unnatural bounce" after a lengthy review, and the basket was counted.
The final sequence was one of four late reviews, all of which starred Green.
With less than two minutes remaining and the Thunder leading by one, Luguentz Dort was called for a foul on Green away from the ball as Curry heaved a 3-pointer.
Oklahoma City challenged the call, which was overturned because it was an illegal screen on Green.
Green then went up for a shot near the basket, and his left elbow caught Thunder guard Chet Holmgren near the eye.
Holmgren lay down for a few moments before getting up and walking off the floor. Following another review, officials determined Green's contact to be incidental.
With 32.5 seconds remaining, Green was called for a blocking foul on Holmgren, which the Warriors challenged. That call stood, and Holmgren hit both free throws to put Oklahoma City up 138-137.
With 16.4 seconds remaining, Dort made one of two free throws to tie the game, and Golden State called timeout to set up the game-winning shot.
Dario Saric scored 20 points off the bench for the Warriors, who have won five straight games after a loss to start the season. Golden State got 19 points from Jonathan Kuminga, 18 points from Klay Thompson, 17 points from Andrew Wiggins, and 15 points from Draymond Green. Chris Paul had 13 assists.
The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was sidelined with a left knee sprain suffered late in the team's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday.
Dort had 29 points to lead Oklahoma City, making all six of his 3-point attempts. It was the highest-scoring game since the 2021-22 season.
Jalen Williams and Josh Giddey each had 18 points. Holmgren had a season-high 24 points.
