Curry on Game Struggles
“There are parts of the game where we just…made it too hard on all of us with not getting organized, bad possessions, a little lack of energy. And you give a team like that life.”
The Warriors held an 88-82 lead entering the final quarter but couldn’t maintain it, as Quenton Jackson scored 12 of his 25 points during that stretch.
Need for Better Decision-Making
“I got to be better just being more decisive, more aggressive, even not to shoot, but to play make and get everybody organized.”
Emphasis on Professionalism and Preparation
“Just be professional, understand what you need to do to get your body, your mind ready to bring your best self…you have to demonstrate that, execute it.”
Defensive Challenges
“There were a couple possessions…turnovers in the third quarter…you give them a fast break layup. It changes the momentum.”
Curry pointed out that turnovers and losing momentum were costly for the Warriors defensively.
Summary: Steph Curry emphasized the Warriors’ lack of organization and energy, highlighting the critical need for professionalism, better decision-making, and defensive focus in tough road games.
