Stephen Curry was baffled by the malfunctioning shot clock

At the Crypto.com Arena, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jonathan Kuminga all had a brilliant outing in a long time in this incredible contest. But the shot clock problem caused the game to end momentarily after nearly 20 minutes, slightly marring the Warriors’ performance.

Technology is becoming a big component of everything, especially in sports. Fans and other people often criticize failing technologies, but even players get impatient. Stephen Curry expressed confusion at the unusual shot-clock glitch. Following the game, Curry spoke openly with reporters about the consequences of such mishaps.

Stephen Curry said in the postgame interview:

I had never seen anything like that in my 15 years because usually there's a backup plan, secondary clock or something. But definitely weird. I watch a lot of golf. I don't know if they did that. But it's probably not the greatest for TV.
Stephen Curry said

The shot clock began to malfunction frequently in the last seconds of the fourth quarter, with less than two minutes left. The game was halted multiple times despite the arena operations crew’s best efforts to fix the problem, leaving both players and spectators perplexed and frustrated.

Stephen Curry and Novak Djokovic swapped jerseys and had a little moment after the game

Former world number one Roger Federer visited the team’s facilities earlier this week and had an interaction with the players. The current world number one, Novak Djokovic, saw the Warriors play the Lakers and had a heartwarming little moment with Stephen Curry. Curry was playing his first game back from injury, and he undoubtedly had a fantastic game, scoring 31 points.

Between these icons, what could have been the best moment? Following the match, Curry and Djokovic were seen on camera engaging in a replicated jersey swap. Djokovic autographed a tennis racquet, and Curry signed his jersey from the game. Following the exchange, the two shook hands. Social media users shared the video of the two superstars, who are both still performing at the highest level.

The result was incredible and much-needed for the Dubs. Although LeBron James made things difficult for them, it wasn’t enough for the Lakers to overcome the Warriors.
