NBA Twitter reacts to Warriors blowing another lead on way to tough OT loss vs. Thunder

After another late collapse for the Warriors resulted in an overtime loss to the Thunder, the NBA community on Twitter exploded with reactions on Friday night.

After already suffering a tough loss in overtime to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center in mid-November following a clutch bucket from Chet Holmgren at the buzzer, the Golden State Warriors found themselves in a similar position on Friday night.

Despite going up by as much as 14 points on the Thunder on Friday, the Warriors’ struggles with closing out games appeared again. However, Steph Curry came to the rescue when the Thunder mounted a comeback.

With the game tied, Curry nailed a high-arcing heroic 3-pointer to give the Warriors a three-point lead with only seconds on the clock. Yet, it was just enough time for Holmgren to strike again.

The Warriors attempted to foul Holmgren before he had the chance to get a shot off and send him to the line for two free throws. However, Draymond Green was late. Green made a crucial mistake, fouling Holmgren while he attempted to heave a 3-pointer, sending the Thunder forward to the line for three free throws.

After Holmgren sent the game to overtime with three made free throws, the Warriors had no answer for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren in overtime. The Thunder duo combined for 11 points in overtime to send the Warriors home with another rough loss.

On the way to their 138-136 loss in overtime, the Warriors committed a season-high 29 turnovers against the Thunder. Golden State’s 29 turnovers on Friday matched the most in the Steve Kerr era.

Following the Warriors’ collapse in Oklahoma City, the NBA community on Twitter exploded with reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Friday evening.

NBA Twitter reacts to Steph Curry’s controversial game-winner vs. Thunder

After the first in-season tournament game ended with a controversial game-winner from Steph Curry against the Thunder, NBA Twitter exploded with reactions. See what fans and analysts were saying on Friday night.

The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder provided intense energy and a dramatic finish in their in-season tournament opener on Friday night.

Following a back-and-forth high-scoring contest that featured both teams trading buckets, the game went down to the wire.

The outcome came down to free throws from a red-hot Lu Dort. However, Dort split the free throws, opening the door for the Warriors to steal the game with 16 seconds left on the clock.

One game after Klay Thompson hit a game-winning jumper at the buzzer against the Sacramento Kings, Steph Curry answered the bell in Oklahoma City. However, Curry’s game-winner didn’t come without theatrics.

With time ticking down, Curry drove to the basket on his way to a high-arching layup at the rim that rattled through the net to give the Warriors a 141-139 win in a thriller against the Thunder. Yet, the final play of regulation went into review after a basket interference call on Draymond Green.

After a flurry of reviews, it looked like Oklahoma City’s Josh Giddey appeared to touch the net while Green was going for the rim. The call was overturned, and Curry was awarded the game-winning basket.

Curry finished with a game-high 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field with five made triples to go along with eight boards and seven assists in 31 minutes.

After the Warriors won their fifth straight game in dramatic fashion, the NBA community on Twitter erupted with reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Friday night.
