Curry on Warriors struggles

Curry said that his team is capable of beating the best teams in the NBA. However, he said they still haven't shown they can sustain that competitiveness for a whole game, per ESPN. The Warriors are now 5-18 on the road.

"We're capable, but it's a matter of execution and being able to sustain it. There's another level to get to that we haven't gotten [to] in terms of putting together a full 48 minutes."

The Warriors are 9th in the Western Conference and that game indicates what the Warriors can be if things start clicking. Steve Kerr said his team resembled a Championship team.

“All in all, I loved the level of competition, the way the guys played the together. We looked like what we are, which is a championship team."
