Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III did all they could for the Warriors, but Harden caught fire in overtime and the Warriors couldn’t respond. Curry had 36 points and six assists while Butler finished with 30 points and nine assists.
Curry played Sunday’s game with a wrap around his thumb and Butler was limping near the end of the game, so health will be something to monitor closely as the Warriors and Grizzlies face off on Tuesday in a play-in battle for the 7th seed.
