On Monday night, the Golden State Warriors had one of their worst games of the season.
They lost to the Boston Celtics (at home) by a score of 125-85.
Steph Curry finished the loss with 18 points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals while shooting 6/16 from the field and 4/12 from the three-point range in 27 minutes of playing time.
After the game, the superstar guard made an honest statement when he met with the media (h/t 95.7 The Game).
Curry: “You have to be able to not dwell on the past. You got to be real about the fact we’re not playing good basketball and playing consistent basketball night to night… Nobody wants to sulk or have their head down come shootaround on Wednesday morning.”
