In their 2024-25 regular-season finale, the LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors gave fans a treat with an overtime thriller. In a postseason atmosphere with playoff implications on the line, the Clippers pulled out a huge 124-119 win to close out their regular season with a statement.

The Clippers were led by star guard James Harden with 39 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on 13-23 shooting from the field and 5-8 from beyond the arc, as the 11-time NBA All-Star turned back the clock with an incredible performance.

After the game, Curry showed the same respect for Harden.

"Utmost respect and appreciation for who he is as a player, as a person," Curry said. "There’s just a lot of love and a lot of respect for what he’s done his entire career and the levels that he’s pushed it. It’s kinda cool to keep having opportunities to do it in 2025."

Sunday's meeting between the Clippers and Warriors had all the makings for a playoff game, especially as these two superstar guards battled it out on the court and still had the utmost respect for each other after.
