Curry on Warriors struggles

Steve Kerr's side are now 21-22 for the season and sit 8th in the Western Conference. They have won just once in their last five games and will need to get back on track if they want to avoid the play-in tournament.

Curry said his team hasn't proven they can string a good run together, per NBC Sports.

"We just haven’t proven that we’re intelligent enough or play hard enough, that we’re focused enough to string a couple good games together to help build that momentum."

The Warriors play on the road in their next three games, with two coming against former NBA Finals rivals Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers.

They will also visit the White House on January 17th, the first time since Barack Obama's administration, per San Francisco Chronicle.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have jetted to Paris, France and will play Detroit Pistons on January 19th.

Curry on Alamodome attendance record

Sports Brief earlier reported on Curry reacting to the Warriors thrashing the San Antonio Spurs in front of a record-breaking 68,323 fans.

The defending NBA champions won 144-113, spoiling the host's celebration of their 50th anniversary at the Alamodome.

The Alamodome attendance broke the record of 62,046 who converged to watch Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls against the Atlanta Hawks at the Georgia Dome on March 27, 1998.
