Stephen Curry Reeks In Disappointment After Warriors’ Record At Home Worsens
Follow Us
The Golden State Warriors are in the middle of the second-worst record in the past 10 years. They are currently ranked 10th in the conference, battling for their season behind a 36-33 record. Moreover, what was once seen as an automatic domination in the Chase Center, has now fallen to an 18-18 record at home. Their recent loss came to Indiana Pacers, as Stephen Curry‘s 25-point and 11-rebound double-double fell short. Now, as the Warriors’ struggles intensify with 14 games at hand, Curry voices the most concerning factor within the team.
Addressing the dynamicity of NBA games, Curry highlights the even ground each night. However, while siding with the team’s ultimate effort, he says, “You could give effort, but you’re not focused. So, that’s disappointing.”

Steph’s comments come primarily due to the lack of defensive priority against the Indiana Pacers. Starting from offense, Jonathan Kuminga, the Warriors most promising youngster, missed the mark on 13 of his 17 shots. Moreover, as Brandin Podziemski and Klay Thompson helped Steph revive the Warriors’ touch, their efforts could not paint over the dismal 29.2% shooting from three.
However, as Curry mentions, the Warriors matched the bar when it comes to effort. The team outrebounded the Pacers 64-50 while garnering the double of Indy’s offensive rebounds. However, despite the added possessions under the basket, the Pacers beat them 60-46 for points in the paint; possibly highlighting a minor point by Steph’s urge to address the details of the game.

The Warriors fell back on Stephen Curry’s misses
With their past 10 games resulting in an even 5-5 record, both teams bought the scoring touch the faceoff. However, the Warriors came out at the top for the halftime buzzer, securing a single-point lead. While much of it comes through the entire roster, most of that was sparked by Stephen Curry’s lightning 13 points in the first quarter. In return, the home squad followed along, posting 25 points in unison for a 38-point first quarter.
However, as Steph’s productivity declined, Golden State produced back-to-back lower-scoring stretches. As a result, what is known to be a third quarter team, lost their grip on the game right after halftime.

Regardless, Curry made up for his missed shots by crashing the boards. Moreover, he only had 1 turnover throughout the game; barring him to be the reason behind GSW’s downfall. The trajectory thus sheds light on the Warriors to come together as a unit. Mostly, for the youngsters to actively approach the defensive aspect of the game when things are not clicking from beyond the arc.
