In a Chris Webber-esque gaffe, Curry took a timeout his team didn't have, but the Warriors held on for a 126-125 win in Game 4 when the Kings' last shot missed.
Curry signaled for a timeout because he was facing a double team in the backcourt from Sacramento’s Davion Mitchell and Harrison Barnes with Golden State clinging to a 126-121 lead at Chase Center in San Francisco. There were just 18 seconds remaining on the shot clock, and Curry was at risk of a backcourt violation if he didn’t advance the ball past half court in the next two seconds.
Kings guard Malik Monk converted the free throw to cut the Warriors’ lead to four, and De’Aaron Fox drained a three-pointer on Sacramento’s subsequent possession to make it 126-125 with 28.7 seconds left.Suddenly facing a one-possession game and still without any timeouts, Curry missed a midrange jumper on Golden State’s next possession. The Kings gathered the rebound, called a timeout and set up a potential game-winning shot.
Fox, who finished with a game-high 38 points to go with nine rebounds and five assists, attacked from the top of the key, drew two defenders and passed to Barnes on the left wing. Barnes, a member of the Warriors’ 2015 title team, launched a three-pointer at the buzzer that rimmed off.“We wanted to get the ball out of Fox’s hands and try to get back to wherever the shooter was going to be,” Kerr said. “In that case it was Harrison, and he got a good look.
