In a losing effort, the Golden State Warriors faced the Minnesota Timberwolves while they were in Minnesota. The Wolves stormed back to force overtime and win the game 114-119 after the Warriors had held leads for most of the contest.
Stephen Curry had a shockingly bad performance in the clutch, not being able to show up when his team needed him the most. He scored just 8 points on 3-11 shooting in the fourth and OT. Fans are coming out to criticize Steph for the performance that cost Golden State the game.

Steph Curry shot 3-11 for 6 points in the 4th Q/OT of tonight's loss.
No wonder GS begged KD to join them after Steph shot 0-5 in the last 5 minutes of Game 7 of the 2016 Finals.

Curry was 5/7 at one point in the first half I believe.
He finished 8/21.
That was an awful 2nd half, especially in the 4th and OT. Just bad.

After a point, fans will have to start getting worried about the sustenance of this Warriors’ roster, as they haven’t been able to put it together after 50 games into this season.
Do The Defending Champions Need To Buy At The Trade Deadline?
The Warriors have escaped criticism for wanting to keep their future intact while trying to compete for the title. This is mainly because it worked last season but isn’t working now. Outside of Jonathan Kuminga, the Warriors shouldn’t prioritize keeping the young core together and make win-now moves like trading for Jakob Poeltl to maximize their championship window.
The Warriors have future assets in draft capital as well. It’s time they start putting them into trades to try and ensure they can make the most o this season. This performance by Curry was an outlier and not something we see him do regularly. If Curry performs at the level he has this season, the Warriors will feel the heat to make a winning move in the next week.
