Los Angeles: The Warriors had a tough night against the Clippers. Without Steph Curry, they really struggled to find their rhythm. It was a clear reminder of how much they rely on him.
Steve Kerr has been trying to get the team to step up when Curry’s not on the court. They had some success in previous games, but this time it just didn’t click. Draymond Green was also out, which didn’t help matters.
Jonathan Kuminga had a decent game, but the rest of the team just couldn’t get it going. They ended up losing 102-97, and it was frustrating to watch. Kerr pointed out that they need more players to step up, not just rely on one star.
Before this game, the Warriors had a decent record without Curry, but this loss showed they still have a long way to go. They were down by 19 points at one point but managed to close the gap a bit. However, they just couldn’t finish strong.
It wasn’t all doom and gloom, though. Kerr did mention that the defense looked better in the fourth quarter, which is a positive sign. But it’s clear they need to build some confidence moving forward.
With Curry’s knees acting up, he might need more rest as the season goes on. The same goes for Green. Kerr knows they need to get multiple players involved to win games, and he’s hopeful they can regain their confidence soon.
