Did Stephen Curry's Buzzer-Beater in Warriors vs. Thunder Count?

The Golden State Warriors edged out the Oklahoma City Thunder with a controversial buzzer-beater in their NBA in-season tournament matchup. Stephen Curry scored 30 points, including the winning layup in the final second, to secure the Warriors' 141-139 victory.

The last second layup by Curry was initially called into question due to Draymond Green making contact with the rim. However, after a lengthy review, the officials determined that Green's contact did not cause the ball to take an unnatural bounce, and the basket was counted.

This was just one of four late reviews involving Green during the game. The Thunder had challenged a foul call on Luguentz Dort, which was reversed to an illegal screen by Green. Another review ruled that Green's contact with Chet Holmgren was incidental. Later, Green was called for a blocking foul on Holmgren, which stood after being challenged by the Warriors.

Despite the controversial ending, the Warriors' victory extends their winning streak to five games following an opening loss. Curry's heroics, along with contributions from Dario Saric, Jonathan Kuminga, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Green, propelled the Warriors to victory.

The Thunder played without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was sidelined with a left knee sprain. The Warriors' win against the Thunder adds another thrilling chapter to their in-season tournament campaign.
