Still deprived of Stephen Curry, injured in the ankle for several days, but also of Draymond Green for the trip to Dallas, the Warriors struggled to score points and logically lost.
This is their third defeat in four matches, with the only victory coming against Spurs. Times are tough, but Steve Kerr doesn't see it that way, with 17 games remaining for Golden State.
“The season is a real marathon. I have no doubt that this team can put together a big series and produce a great effort.”, judge the coach of the Warriors.
The return of Stephen Curry, expected Saturday evening, will already resolve certain problems. Then, the Warriors have turned things around since February and, very recently, they still had 35 points on the Bucks…
The team found its identity
“I like our team the way it is,” continues the technician. “I like this team a lot more now than I did two months ago, when we had a lot of things to sort out. We have an identity. We know who we are. We will bounce back and I can't wait to start this last part of the season. »
At the end of January, the Warriors had a record of 19 wins and 24 losses. Now, they are 34-31 and have moved up two places in the Western Conference, allowing them to be virtually in play-in – and probably more than virtually since Houston is quite far away, with four victories behind.
“There is good and bad,” book Brandin Podziemski on this difficult sequence without Stephen Curry. “The win in San Antonio showed that when you fight and play hard, you can really be good, no matter who is on the floor. »
