For the third time in the Golden State Warriors’ early stretch of season, one of their games came down to the final seconds. With two game-winners already under their belt, the Warriors had the chance to tie the game with time running down against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday evening.

After a back and forth heavyweight fight to close out their road trip, the Warriors found themselves down two points following a pair of missed free throws from Nikola Jokic. Despite getting a good look at game-tying shot, Steph Curry’s layup didn’t fall through the bucket, sealing the thrilling contest in favor of the defending champion Nuggets.

Klay Thompson had the chance for a late long-distance shot to tie the game as well, but the ball appeared to slip out of his hands before he could hoist up one last heave.

With a loss to the Nuggets without Draymond Green and Gary Payton II, the Warriors’ road trip ended 2-2. Curry lead the Warriors with 23 points on 6-of-17 shooting from the field with six made triples. Curry added five rebounds and four assists.

After Curry and Thompson missed game-tying shots in a loss to the Nuggets, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying after the buzzer on Wednesday evening.
