Warriors coach Mark Jackson had no problem with Stephen Curry passing up the do-or-die shot at the buzzer.

Curry found a wide-open Harrison Barnes with the game's final seconds ticking away, but the struggling second-year man couldn't convert as the Warriors fell 121-120 to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Oracle Arena in a game otherwise filled with offensive fireworks Friday.

"That's a heck of a play, and we missed the shot," Jackson said of Curry, who poured in 33 points and wished he had added one more to his final total of 15 assists.

"Your job as a superstar or star basketball player is to put us in position to get us a great look, and he did his job. That didn't lose us the ballgame."
