The Warriors struggle with late-game scoring, raising concerns about their playoff chances this season
Golden State, Warriors, NBA, Houston, Rockets
Houston: The Warriors started this season strong, but now they’re slipping back into some old bad habits. You know, the ones that haunted them last year.
They’re dealing with turnovers and those frustrating late-game collapses. Just the other night, they lost 91-90 to the Rockets, and it was a tough one to swallow.
They were in a good spot, leading by seven with just a few minutes left, but then everything fell apart. Missed shots, turnovers, you name it. They ended up giving Houston 30 points off 22 turnovers. Ouch!
Coach Steve Kerr was pretty upset about a late call from the refs, but he knows that’s not the main issue. The real problem is those turnovers and scoring droughts that keep popping up.
Stephen Curry took some responsibility, saying he needs to do better in crunch time. He’s right; they’ve lost eight out of 15 close games this season. That’s not a good look.
They’ve had some tough losses lately, and if they don’t figure this out soon, they might find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs.
It’s a bit of a rollercoaster for the Warriors right now. They’ve got the talent, but they need to get their act together if they want to be a real contender.
