The Golden State Warriors blew another game, this time to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Stephen Curry was very frustrated during his postgame press conference.
The Warriors were up by as many as 18 points against the Thunder. They had a three-point lead with under 10.0 seconds left in regulation after Curry hit a 3-pointer. However, Draymond Green fouled Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren on a 3-point attempt with 7.0 seconds left and Holmgren made all three shots from the foul line.
Curry had a chance to win the game in regulation, but the two-time MVP missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Warriors were outscored by the Thunder 20-18 in overtime and lost by a final score of 138-136.
“I don’t know, man,” Curry said. “Gotta figure out how to stop talking about it and do it. Or else you’ll be into the new year with the same problems. … I’m kinda sick of talking about it.”
The Warriors had 28 turnovers against the Thunder. Andrew Wiggins had six turnovers, Green had four, Klay Thompson had four, Curry had three, Jonathan Kuminga had three, Dario Saric had three, Brandin Podziemski had two, Moses Moody had two and Kevon Looney had one. There was also one team turnover, a shot-clock violation.
“It’s a pattern right now,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “I watched this same group win a championship a year and a half ago. They’re champions. But they’re not playing like it. I’m not coaching like it. We have to figure this out.”
The Warriors are 10-12 on the season. They are in 11th place in the Western Conference standings. Curry, who is averaging 29.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists on the season, is the only player on the Warriors scoring over 20.0 points per game.
