This time the tall center, 2.16m tall, received a personal foul from Draymond Green with seven seconds remaining and had the nerve to convert the three free throws that tied the game at 118.
Curry missed a desperate three-pointer and the game was decided in overtime in which the young Thunder overwhelmed the Warriors with speed and power.
