Klay Thompson had 19 points and Andrew Wiggins had 14 points as the Warriors dropped their eighth consecutive game on the road. Golden State has not been able to win away from the Chase Center this year.
"Losing becomes a habit if you don’t fix it," Curry said. "We avoided that for a very long time. We are very aware of who we are and our potential. The losing does get old really quick."
Steve Kerr said the Warriors were playing like they were in a pickup game.

"We lack collective grit. We're playing a Drew League game right now," he added, via ESPN. "I've always felt the game rewards you if you commit to the game. If you really compete together, shots go in, calls go your way, breaks fall your way, and we're not earning any of this stuff. That's why we are winless on the road. It's a pickup game."
