The Kings had a chance to win the game before the buzzer sounded. Former Warriors forward, Harrison Barnes attempted a long three but missed and the Golden State fans went from holding their breath to sighs of relief.

Curry explained he didn't know they had no timeouts left.

"I didn't realize when we lost the challenge that we didn't have any timeouts left... [Coach] took the blame for it, but I ain't going to lie: I thought it was the smartest play in the world. I looked at the bench, and everybody was shaking their head. It was an unfortunate situation," Curry said via ESPN.

The veteran point guard was relieved they got a vital win.
