Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green only managed to play one game together after waiting 1,005 days to be reunited. Unfortunately, that reunion fell short after a Marcus Smart dive for the ball - a move which Smart says he's incredibly unhappy Curry got hurt during.

"Everybody who knows me knows that I'm not trying to hurt anybody," Smart said. "I play hard, I leave it all on the line. I leave my life on the line on this court every single night. I made a play that I make every night, and unfortunately, it's killing me right now that Steph got hurt. I hate to see anybody getting hurt, especially playing their heart out. I just wish that everything is alright."

During the game, Steve Kerr pulled Marcus smart aside and the two had a heated conversation. Kerr thought Marcus' dive was a dangerous play, and he let him know it. Smart had no hard feelings towards Kerr's thoughts, knowing that's exactly what a coach should say.

"Steve is doing what he's supposed to do, just backing up his guy," Smart said. "He felt a way, which is understandable. Me and Steve got a relationship from USA, that we can talk like that."

It was a brief moment, but the Golden State Warriors were finally starting to get true momentum with their big three finally back together. Now, the team will have to figure out a way to get some wins without their best player. If they don't, there's still a realistic chance that the team could fall even to the 5th seed.
