The Great Era Ends! Curry Shows Disappointment on the Sideline After Warriors Miss Playoffs

On April 18 Beijing time, in the NBA play-in game, the Suns defeated the Warriors 111-96 at home. The Suns secured the 8th seed in the Western Conference and earned a playoff spot, facing the Thunder in the first round, while the Warriors were eliminated and missed the playoffs.

In this game, Curry made 4 out of 16 shots, 6 out of 6 free throws, and only 3 out of 10 three-pointers, scoring 17 points with 4 assists. In the most crucial game of the season, Curry could not save the Warriors and had to helplessly watch his team miss the playoffs.

In the previous play-in game against the Clippers, Curry scored 24 points with 6 rebounds, helping the Warriors eliminate their opponent and secure a chance to compete with the Suns for the final playoff spot. However, in the following matchup against the Suns, the Warriors could not continue their magic.

When the Warriors were eliminated, Curry quietly sat on the bench, then tightly covered his face with a towel, filled with disappointment and frustration.

At 38 years old, Curry is already in the late stage of his career. He has won 4 championships, 1 MVP, and 1 FMVP, becoming the greatest three-point shooter in history, one of the greatest players of this era, and also one of the greatest point guards ever.

After the Warriors were eliminated and missed the playoffs, Curry's era has also faded away with the winds and rains. Old soldiers never die, they just fade away; Curry ultimately could not escape the cycle of generational change in the league.
