They are 16-19 in their 35 Christmas games.

2024: Lakers 115, Warriors 113

Curry had eight points in the last 25 seconds, tying the game at 113 with his eighth three with seven seconds left. Austin Reaves answered with a drive-and-finish with one second to go to win a thriller.

Curry had a game-high 38 points, while LeBron James had a team-high 31 points and 10 assists.

2023: Nuggets 120, Warriors 114

Jamal Murray (28 points) and Nikola Jokic (26 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists) spearheaded the Nuggets' victory in a matchup of the last two NBA champions.

Curry struggled, going just 7-of-21 from the field.

2022: Warriors 123, Grizzlies 109

Playing without Curry, the defending champion Warriors got 32 points from Jordan Poole. Ja Morant had 36 points for the Grizzlies, who surely wanted some revenge after losing a tight six-game series to the Dubs in the 2022 playoffs.

2021: Warriors 116, Suns 107

The Suns (26-5) and Warriors (26-6) entered with the two best records in the NBA.

Other Notable Games

2019: Warriors 116, Rockets 104

The Warriors entered this game 7-24 and would go on to have the worst record in the NBA with Curry and Klay Thompson injured. But they couldn't miss an opportunity to beat the Rockets again, sending James Harden and Russell Westbrook home with an L.

2016: Cavaliers 109, Warriors 108

Kevin Durant had a game-high 36 points, but he went just 2-of-9 in the fourth quarter. On the final possession, he tripped with the ball in his hands, sealing Golden State's fate.

Kyrie Irving hit a ridiculously tough shot with three seconds to go that proved to be the game-winner.

2013: Warriors 105, Clippers 103

The Clippers had five shots to tie or take the lead in the last 62 seconds, but they missed them all. Thompson's block of Chris Paul's floater with a second to go was the most memorable play of the game.
