As he stormed out of Chase Center on Saturday night, Steph Curry tore his jersey in a display of his evident frustration following the Golden State Warriors’ double-overtime loss ripped the Los Angeles Lakers.

Still reeling from another back-and-forth with LeBron James, Curry’s Warriors fell short as a 145-144 scoreline swallowed his 46 points and seven assists.

After being fouled by Draymond Green with 1.2 seconds left in the sixth period, James Һit two free throws to clinch his triple-double: 36 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists.

After the buzzer sounded, Curry was friendly with James and the other players, but he quickly had his jersey torn.

In a state of dejection after ripping his jersey on the hardwood, Curry walked to the locker room with his head down.

Curry stands out for the jersey rip because, unlike Green, he has no history of аggressive behavior in the NBA.

The fact that they still lead the Lakers by fifteen points in the middle of the third quarter might be adding fuel to the fire.

The Warriors’ season has been disappointing thus far, and this loss was only the most recent setback. With Curry, Green, and Klay Thompson at the helm, the Warriors still trail the Lakers and Jazz by three games for the last Play-In Tournament slot, with a record of 19-24.

The Lakers’ comeback win moves them two games clear of elimination from the Play-In round, while Houston moves into third place in the standings, behind only Los Angeles and Golden State.

After sweeping Golden State in six games last season, the Los Angeles Clippers were swept in the Conference Finals by the eventual NBA champion Denver Nuggets.

The Warriors’ loss against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night was their second straight by a single point; they had previously lost in a postseason matchup in 2023.

There are three more regular season games between the Lakers and the Warriors, and every one of them will be shown on national television. The next one is on February 22.
