The Warriors blew a six-point lead in the last 90 seconds to lose to the Rockets and\u00a0Stephen Curry\u00a0admitted postgame that unless they fix this problem, they&#8217;ll be a mediocre team.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s a team trying to figure out who you are, what works, what sets we need to be in,&#8221; Curry said. &#8220;&#8230;. The pattern of scoreless kind of droughts down the stretch has to be addressed or else we&#8217;re gonna be a mediocre team. I&#8217;ll take responsibility for not being able to get us organized and not being able to finish plays.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Ball&#8217;s in my hands. I got to make shots,&#8221; Curry continued. &#8220;But I think we all can address certain sets that can get us into better shot-creation type opportunities, knowing how teams are trying to guard us, especially in the last five minutes.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe&#8217;re talking about it,\u201d Curry added. \u201cWe&#8217;re experimenting. That&#8217;s going to be a defining point of our full season, if we figure it out or we don&#8217;t because we\u2019re playing well enough to win most games. So, that&#8217;s a good sign and a bad sign.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-twitter-embed\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed mm-embed--twitter l-inline\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=GautamVarier&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1867097647523434900&amp;lang=vi&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Ffadeawayworld.net%2Fnba%2Fgolden-state-warriors%2Fstephen-curry-admits-warriors-will-be-mediocre-team-unless-fix-one-major-problem&amp;sessionId=f1f605f4c92465df59d1f1a4c2d93def95e0b542&amp;siteScreenName=%40fadeawayworld&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1867097647523434900\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"2\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-empty not-filled\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-3e0aa482e4ab49ada15f01a9d27b7263\" data-google-query-id=\"CMOy_Zjvo4oDFSiG6QUdtp4Lqg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Well, this loss to the Rockets dropped the Warriors to 14-10 on the season and they are playing like a mediocre team at the moment. As Curry, who had 19 points, three rebounds, five assists, two steals, and a block on the night, stated, if they don&#8217;t figure out how to close games better, this is going to be another disappointing season.<\/p>\n<p>Against the Rockets, the Warriors self-destructed in spectacular fashion. They did not score a point in the final three minutes of the contest and had two shot clock violations in that time. Their offense was out of sync down the stretch and that&#8217;s starting to become a common occurrence at this point.<\/p>\n<p>In their win over the\u00a0Minnesota Timberwolves\u00a0on Sunday, the Warriors blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead in a matter of minutes. They managed to regroup and eventually win 114-106 but that&#8217;s not something they&#8217;ve managed to do all that often this season.<\/p>\n<p>Against the\u00a0Denver Nuggets\u00a0on Dec. 3, the Warriors scored just two points in the final four minutes to lose 119-115. Going back a bit further, they completely collapsed in the fourth quarter against the\u00a0San Antonio Spurs\u00a0on Nov. 23. The Warriors lost that quarter 33-13 to lose the game 104-94.<\/p>\n<p>Following this game against the Rockets, the Warriors have now suffered defeat in seven of their last 10 clutch games. This is a team that just crumbles in the big moments and they need to address this problem in a hurry.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"2\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-empty not-filled\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-ee518cc3df82470db528d18e29df578a\" data-google-query-id=\"CIC4kZbxo4oDFe2I6QUdFGwY2w\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Warriors will be taking on the\u00a0Dallas Mavericks\u00a0at Chase Center next on Sunday at 8:30 PM ET and they could learn a thing or two from their opponents on how to close out games.
