Warriors one solution away from extending current joy ride originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
SAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors’ four-game win streak is bringing a new and more athletic era, and Dub Nation is getting louder. The sellout crowd at Chase Center witnessed thrilling performances from Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis along with Stephen Curry’s 30-point game in a 129-118 win over the Washington Wizards.
But with all the positivity, there’s a crucial issue: Defense.
Coach Steve Kerr discussed the need for improvement in defense, emphasizing its importance in the team’s overall performance. “If we can turn defense into offense, that’s the best offense,” Kerr said. “Get a stop and get out and transition.”
Stephen Curry echoed this sentiment, acknowledging that while the team is winning, he knows there’s room to play better, especially defensively.
The Warriors have been shining on offense during their streak but acknowledging the need to step up on defense to maintain their winning streak, especially against upcoming tougher opponents.
