The Golden State Warriors’ nightmare continued Tuesday night, dropping their third straight game in heartbreaking fashion as the Chicago Bulls stole a 130-124 overtime victory. But the real dagger wasn’t Matas Buzelis dropping 41 points or Josh Giddey’s triple-double. No—the game was lost in one brain-melting moment with 1.4 seconds left in regulation, when Draymond Green committed the single most idiotic foul you’ll see all season.
With the Warriors leading 118-116, Jalen Smith stood on the floor with one foot planted on the three-point line—meaning Chicago was staring at nothing more than a potential game-tying two-pointer. Instead of letting Smith shoot a tough, contested look, Green reached in and hacked him. Smith calmly sank both free throws to tie the game. The Bulls then outscored Golden State 12-6 in overtime to finish the robbery.
Post-game, head coach Steve Kerr didn’t sugarcoat it—he straight-up confirmed what every Warriors fan already knew.

“It was a foul. I watched the replay and uh you know, I’m sure he’d like to have that one back. He just got his hand in the wrong spot, and you know, it would have been a tough shot,” Kerr said.
Then Kerr dropped the part that’s going to have fans absolutely raging.
“He was in a tough spot. He didn’t play the whole fourth quarter and then I throw him out there for a couple of defensive possessions because I know how good he is on that end. But you know, he wasn’t exactly loose and in the flow. I’m sure that didn’t help matters.”
Translation: Kerr admitted he put Green in a cold, rusty situation—and Green still managed to blow the game in the most avoidable way possible.

This wasn’t just a foul. This was Warriors basketball in 2026 summed up in 1.4 seconds of pure insanity: a veteran who should know better, a coach owning the decision, and a win that was right there… until Green nuked it.
On the other side, the Bulls were unstoppable. Rookie sensation Matas Buzelis went nuclear with 41 points on 16-of-28 shooting, while Josh Giddey cooked with a 21-point, 17-assist, 13-rebound triple-double.
Golden State got balanced scoring—Gui Santos, Kristaps Porziņģis, LJ Cryer, and Pat Spencer each dropped 17—but none of it mattered once Green turned a sure win into overtime disaster.
The Warriors now sit at 32-33 and desperately need to snap this skid against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But after this one, fans aren’t just angry—they’re questioning everything about Green’s decision-making in the clutch and Kerr’s willingness to expose him like that.
1.4 seconds. One stupid foul. A season slipping away.
