Amid ongoing tensions surrounding Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors successfully put an end to their losing streak against the Brooklyn Nets. Despite a slowdown in the second half, the team maintained their shooting touch, concluding the game with over 50% efficiency from beyond the three-point line. Klay Thompson continued his leap with 24 points, while Stephen Curry led the charge with 37 points, shooting at over 60%.

Joining the two stars in the spotlight was Brandin Podziemski, adding a solid 19 points and securing 3 steals. However, as the celebratory atmosphere permeated the Warriors’ locker room, Steph admitted to feeling a bit underutilized when it came to balancing his contributions to the squad.

Stephen Curry feels he can do more for the squad

Despite the Warriors securing a much-needed victory, Stephen Curry playfully expressed dissatisfaction with his performance. Leading the charge with an impressive 37 points, Curry shifted his focus to the team’s success. While humorously lamenting his assists and holding himself accountable, he quipped, “I only had one assist, so I ain’t get nobody involved.” Steph’s response came after he was asked about handling double teams throughout the game.

However, Curry swiftly shifted gears to commend his teammates for their efficient ball movement. Expanding his praise, he applauded Andrew Wiggins as well; particularly for coming off the bench and staying aggressive on the floor.

Stephen Curry’s leadership shines through in qualities like self-accountability, which have been instrumental in his ability to deliver stellar performances despite the Warriors’ recent struggles. While Curry’s acknowledgment that he could have distributed the ball more to involve his teammates is valid, it also suggests that the Warriors are poised for improvement.
