A Game 4 thriller turned into a high-stakes backcourt duel in San Francisco on Sunday as the Golden State Warriors pulled out a 126-125 win over the Sacramento Kings.

With 42 seconds remaining in the Warriors' eventual 126-125 victory, Curry called a timeout -- except Golden State didn't have any left. Curry received a technical foul with the Warriors up by just five points.

The win saw the Warriors survive a critical late mistake from Stephen Curry as they staved off the brink of elimination to send the series back to Sacramento tied at 2-2.

The Warriors are no stranger to intense playoff contests, and Game 4 against the Kings was no different. And while it might have ended up being closer than it needed to be, Golden State's championship DNA again propelled them to the finish line.

The Kings nearly made Curry and the Warriors pay for their mistake on Sunday, going on to score four points in the final seconds of Game 4 and pulling within one of the Warriors' lead thanks in part to a 3-point jump shot by De'Aaron Fox with 28 seconds left.

But Golden State staved off Sacramento and emerged victorious to even the opening-round NBA playoff series at two games apiece, despite Curry's mistake -- which Warriors coach Steve Kerr took full responsibility for after the win.
