Steph Curry isn’t starting the All-Star game. He will still very likely make it as a reserve. But it’s Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander starting in the backcourt. Curry: “Those two guys are playing amazing and deserve it.” – 1:56 AM

Steph Curry discusses the final possession. He said it was decided prior between him and Kerr not to take a timeout, but admits in retrospect there was a moment to call one with about seven seconds left. pic.twitter.com/CaGlUkkSOF – 1:52 AM

Curry said they decided not to call time out before Huerter took his free throws, expecting him to make at least one. Then, the goal was to get the ball over halfcourt and see what the defense was doing. He said he could have called TO after getting trapped but didn’t. – 1:51 AM

Steve Kerr explains why he didn’t take a timeout on the final possession. Said he likes the defense in a scramble, wanted the Curry/Draymond pick-and-roll. It looked like he nearly called it a couple times. pic.twitter.com/GIreJUYYD5 – 12:57 AM

Steve Kerr said he didn’t call a timeout in the final seconds of the game because he prefers defenses having to scramble vs. being set.
He said they got to the picture they wanted, but Curry couldn’t get the ball to Green. – 12:55 AM

Too many clutch games lost for them not to re-think approach. Curry on ball. Curry off ball. Shooters on the floor. Slashers on the floor. With Draymond. No Draymond. Defensive lineup. Offensive.
They’re still too prone to not make the necessary play. Especially the stars. – 12:52 AM

Warriors get a rebound after the Huerter missed FTs and decide not to call their last timeout. Steph Curry can’t find a crack in a scramble, loses the ball. Kings win 134-133. Another brutal late-game loss this season. Add it to the list. Drops them to 19-23. – 12:41 AM

Warriors down 128-121 after two Fox 3s. Jonathan Kuminga returning after the timeout. Four minutes left. Looks like Kerr is going to a the Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Kuminga, Draymond lineup to close. – 12:27 AM

Curry played the whole first quarter, presumably because he was rolling offensively. He made 5 threes and scored 18 points … and the Warriors trail by 8
Rest of Warriors: 14 points on 5-for-14 shooting (1-for-6 from 3)
And now Curry sits. – 10:43 PM

More on this storyline
Nick DePaula: Heading into this season, Stephen Curry signed De’Aaron Fox as the 1st signature athlete of Curry Brand. “I couldn’t think of a better athlete & person to join the Curry Brand team,” he said. Fox will launch his Curry Brand signature shoe in Fall 2024: boardroom.tv/deaaron-fox-cu… -via Twitter @NickDePaula / January 26, 2024
In a moment of reflection, Klay Thompson explained to the media how he does not take playing with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green for granted. “It’s very special, any time I’m on the court with those two I’m very grateful because I have friends in this league who tell me how lucky I am to play with my friends and experience that continuity of having teammates together for over a decade,” Thompson said. “And I never take it for granted being out there with no. 23 and no. 30 and I did not know that but that’s really cool to think about, that’s a lot of wins and hopefully many more to come.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / January 25, 2024
