Steph Curry on What Went Wrong in Warriors’ Road Defeat to Pacers
Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors with 24 points in a 114-109 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After the game, he discussed how turnovers, defense, and a lack of organization cost the team critical moments.
“There are parts of the game where we just made it too hard on ourselves with not getting organized, bad possessions, and a little lack of energy. And you give a team like that life.”
The Warriors entered the fourth quarter with an 88-82 lead but couldn’t hold it. Quenton Jackson scored 12 of his 25 points in the final frame, helping Indiana rally for the win. Curry emphasized the importance of smarter decisions under pressure.
“I got to be better—more decisive, more aggressive—not always to shoot, but to playmake and get everybody organized.”
As a veteran, Curry underscored the importance of preparation and focus before games.
“Just be professional, understand what you need to do to get your body and mind ready to bring your best self… you have to demonstrate that and execute it.”
He also reflected on defensive lapses and how turnovers shifted the game’s momentum.
“There were a couple possessions—turnovers in the third quarter—you give them a fast break layup. It changes the momentum.”
