Life has always been tough for the Warriors without Curry, and Saturday was no different.
Golden State Warriors’ Moses Moody and Andrew Wiggins pressure San Antonio Spurs’ Tre Jones in the fourth quarter of an NBA game, Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif. SAN FRANCISCO — Life without Steph Curry has never been fun for the Warriors, and nothing about this year’s group changed that on Saturday.
Kuminga struggled early but scored 19 points in the fourth quarter and Klay Thompson dropped a game-high 27, but the Warriors needed much more in a 126-113 defeat. For the first leg of a home-and-home with the Spurs, Golden State absorbed a disconcerting loss to the Western Conference’s worst team. Golden State’s lack of outside shooting was particularly evident when the Spurs’s 2-3 zone swallowed up their halfcourt offense. In the first five minutes of the second quarter, the Warriors mustered just five points. Dario Saric, who was summoned from out of Kerr’s rotation for shooting, broke a two-minute Warriors scoring drought.Ranked 24th in defensive rating, San Antonio is hardly the defensive machine.
Golden State started the second half small, with DraymondGreen at center and Thompson in for spacing. It worked initially, with the Warriors opening the third quarter on a 16-8 run.
