Steph Curry evoked shades of former Warriors and Kings star Chris Webber when calling a timeout when Golden State didn’t have one.
SAN FRANCISCO – As Steph Curry nonchalantly called a last-minute timeout, he initially thought it was “the smartest play in the world” for the Warriors’ sake.
Curry and the Warriors escaped with a 126-125 win to even their opening-round series against the Sacramento Kings, who host Game 5 on Wednesday night. He was bringing the ball upcourt when Barnes and Davion Mitchell blocked his path up the right sideline. Rather than force the issue, Curry signaled for a timeout, looking less stressed than on Chris Webber’s timeout, also with none available, that sealed Michigan’s loss in the 1993 NCAA Championship Game.
Curry, indeed, said he didn’t realize their final timeout evaporated a few minutes prior, when officials stuck with their call — that Kevon Looney’s pick constituted a foul, leaving Malik Monk sprawled on the hardwood while Klay Thompson attempted a 3-pointer.
