The loss snapped some momentum for Golden State, which entered the night having won seven of its previous 10 games.
Even with the defeat, Curry’s individual season remains strong. He is averaging 28.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 47% from the field and 39.1% from 3-point range during the 2025-26 season.
