“We’re not that team, and I’m not going to let us be that team. … We cannot give in to this losing spirit of just finding different ways to lose basketball games.
“We have 18 games left, we have to figure out how to turn things around pretty quick.”
The Warriors coach Steve Kerr admits not taking their chance when they needed to which cost them in the game.
He added that they keep making mistakes which let team hang around and find their way to defeat them.
“I thought we had several chances to really break this game open,” head coach Steve Kerr said. “This has kind of been a pattern during this bad spell for us. We are not stepping on teams when they are down. We are making mistakes and allowing teams to hang around. And when you do that in this league, you’re dead.”
Curry further stated that they need to find a way get themselves out of the rough situation they are in now.
“It’s rough right now,” Curry said. “Keeping it plain and simple, it’s rough. We’ve got to find a way to claw our way out because obviously, you’ve seen in the last four games, it’s self-inflicted wounds.
“If the playoffs started tomorrow, we would be in some trouble.”
Meanwhile Lakers LeBron James scored 56 points for the Lakers against the Warriors which makes it the highest scoring game with the Lakers.

“Our guys were following me off the floor tonight going into the locker room and they asked me, ‘How does it feel to score 56?'” James said. “I said, ‘Right now, I don’t give a damn about the 56. I’m just happy we got a win.’ That’s just literally the first thing that came to my mind.”
