Stephen Curry Looking Powerless in Dying Seconds vs Luka Doncic?s Mavs Leaves ?Warriors Fans Crying?

A traveling violation, a.k.a. travel, is usually given to a player on two counts: if the player holds the ball for too long and if they illegally move their feet, then that would constitute a violation. This penalty ensures that the players keep dribbling the ball, and there is a fluid flow to their movements as well. Notably, several travels were called in tonight’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks. But it seemingly affected Stephen Curry the most.

In the final minute of the game, Stephen Curry was whistled for a travel. Curry, as always, was trying to take control of the game by either tying the game or taking the lead. He was seemingly looking for a winning shot. Unfortunately for him, the referee blew the whistle. The reason: Curry changed his feet to go for a step-back three.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was alright with Curry’s travel call, so long as they were consistent. He acknowledged that the league has been making emphasis on many regulations. But according to him, if these plays generated such violations, he said that the referees would need to call them now and then. “It happens 30 times a game, guys change pivot feet.”
