Curry's exhaustion impacts Warriors' loss to Nuggets
The Golden State Warriors faced a tough loss against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, losing 114-105 at home. The Nuggets were missing key players Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, but that didn't stop them from capitalizing on the Warriors' mistakes. During the game, Golden State struggled with 20 turnovers, many of which were unforced. Steph Curry had a challenging night, recording seven turnovers himself. At one point, he had the chance to make a critical play but missed a clear shot, further highlighting his struggles. Warriors' coach Steve Kerr pointed out that the team's performance was not up to par. He acknowledged that the Warriors' body language was poor and that they let down their guard against a weakened opponent. The team also had difficulty with free throws, missing 12 of them, and only made eight out of 33 three-point attempts. Curry, who has been playing through a lower back strain, shot only 6 of 21 against the Nuggets. Kerr noted that Curry is feeling exhausted from carrying the team for the past month and mentioned the possibility of resting him in the next game against the Milwaukee Bucks. After the game, Curry expressed frustration over his performance, attributing it mainly to turnovers rather than his back pain. He emphasized the need for the team to support him better during this tough stretch.
