The Warriors managed to win all those games. But if he misses time again, the timing of Curry\u2019s new injury couldn\u2019t come at the worst possible time.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors have lost their last two games in troubling fashion.<\/p>\n<p>They blew a 17-point lead in the third quarter and lost by 10 on the road to\u00a0San Antonio Spurs\u00a0on November 23. Two nights later, at home, they squandered an 18-point lead in the third quarter and lost by eight to the visiting\u00a0Brooklyn Nets.<\/p>\n<p>Curry tried to remain positive despite their consecutive second-half meltdowns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, on the whole, you\u2019ve got to look at the bright spots to the start of our season,\u201d\u00a0Curry told reporters during his postgame press conference. \u201cThese last two games have kind of left a sour taste for sure. We\u2019ve given ourselves a little bit of a cushion with a new kind of mindset with who we\u2019re trying to create [offensively] no matter who\u2019s on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry paced the Warriors in their home loss to the Nets with 28 points. But the Warriors were outscored by four during his 30-minute stint on the floor.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Warriors Bench Outplayed in Last 2 Losses<\/h2>\n<p>The Warriors started hot this season, riding on their depth.<\/p>\n<p>Their bench remains the top-scoring second unit in the NBA this season. However, over their last two games, the Warriors bench were -40 against the Spurs and -22 against the Nets.<\/p>\n<p>Kuminga\u2019s absence and also\u00a0De\u2019Anthony Melton\u2018s season-ending left ACL injury have disrupted the Warriors\u2019 rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Curry urged the Warriors to stay committed to the adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still playing 12 guys,\u201d Curry told reporters. \u201cYou have to be able to adjust no matter what the combinations are\u2026 I think we can be more intentional about what type of shots we can create with certain lineups, and that\u2019s part of the growth of the team. We all have to be committed to making those adjustments.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steve Kerr Owns Blame<\/h2>\n<p>Warriors coach Steve Kerr shouldered the brunt of blame over their last two losses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to execute better,\u201d Kerr told reporters during his postgame press conference. \u201cThat\u2019s on me as a coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors gave up 41 points in the fourth quarter, and they allowed the Nets to hit 20 3-pointers in the game<\/p>\n<p>Kerr welcomed the opportunity to conduct practice after playing back-to-back road games before falling to the Nets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t want to overreact, right?\u201d Kerr said. \u201cTwo games ago, everyone was feeling great. We were 12-3. We\u2019ve had big leads in late third in both games. We have to address what\u2019s happened in these last two games. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a fatigue thing. I think it\u2019s an execution thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyStephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors reacts to a call.
