Warriors pull a Chris Webber, call late timeout they didn't have

The Golden State Warriors committed a mental error comparable to one of the biggest mistakes in college basketball, and perhaps sports, history.

Steph Curry was bringing the basketball up the floor when the Kings trapped him behind halfcourt. With 42 seconds left in the game, Curry let his instincts take over and called a timeout to prevent the turnover in the backcourt.

The problem was that the Warriors had no timeouts remaining. This was because Steve Kerr called for a challenge on an illegal screen foul that came against Kevon Looney a couple of possessions earlier.
