Stephen Curry tried to shake Kevin Love with a dribble and let loose with one of those long three-pointers he seemed to make at every big moment this season.
Instead of a game-tying splash in the final minute, the ball rimmed out and so did the Golden State Warriors’ chances of adding a second straight championship to a record-setting season.
“It will haunt me for a while because it means a lot to me to try to lead my team and do what I need to do on the court and big stages,” Curry said. “Done it before. Didn’t do it tonight.”

With Curry and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson off all night, the Warriors capped the greatest collapse ever in the NBA Finals instead of the most successful season in league history with a 93-89 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in game seven.
The record-setting 73 wins in the regular season, Curry’s unanimous MVP and the memorable comeback in the conference finals will all be a footnote now after the Warriors became the first team ever to lose the NBA Finals after taking a 3-1 series lead.
