Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is not sure of the reason why his team has a 17-18 record at home in the ongoing season. The Dubs suffered their 18th loss of the season while playing at the Chase Center as New York Knicks defeated them by 119-112 on Monday night.
Jalen Brunson scored 34 points and Miles McBride added a career-high 29 for the New York Knicks. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is delighted to note the fight in his players’ game.
“This team has demonstrated all year there’s a lot of fight, a lot of heart, a lot of toughness and a lot of togetherness to the group,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “So there’s a belief that we can win. We always talk about our defense, our rebounding, taking care of the ball. I thought we shared the ball extremely well tonight.”
Meanwhile, Josh Hart had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his fifth triple-double in the past 21 games for New York.
“You can’t say enough about the job Josh did as well. Josh’s toughness was huge for us in this game,” Thibodeau said.
On the other hand, Stephen Curry top-scored with 27 points for the Golden State and Trayce Jackson-Davis added 19 points and 10 rebounds but it was not enough.
“I don’t know what the answer is,” Curry said about the struggles at home. “If we did, we would be able to get ahead of it.”
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted the team’s starting five were not at their absolute best and it led to their downfall.
“Just one of those nights where we didn’t really get anything going from that starting group,” coach Steve Kerr said. “They’ve been really good but it just felt like from the very beginning we were swimming upstream. I think it was 15-4 out of the gate and we didn’t once have the lead in the game. We made a good comeback, but I just didn’t think we were disciplined enough throughout the game to earn the win.”
The Warriors will next take on Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
