Curry and the Warriors were in control when he went down, up 30-20 after the third of Draymond Green's four first half 3s.

With a minute and a half remaining in the second quarter, Wolves star Julius Randle hit a long-range bomb to put Minnesota up by 11 points in what could very well be the final game of Golden State's season. The cameras caught Curry's reaction on the bench as the former back-to-back MVP was seen shaking his head in disbelief.

In the cavernous roar of Minneapolis’s Target Center on May 14, 2025, a single shot fractured the Warriors’ season and sent Timberwolves fans into delirium as Julius Randle’s deep three rattled in to seal a 121–110 Game 5 victory and eliminate Golden State from the playoffs.
