The Golden State Warriors faced off against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday and Stephen Curry posted 50 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists in yet another stunning statement game that showed just how amazing he is.
And yet, the Warriors lost yet another game.
They were taken down by the Suns in a painful 130-119 defeat, despite Curry’s epic playing.

The Warriors, who won the Finals just months ago, now stand at 6-9 with a very shocking milestone within that record: they are now 0-8 on the road this season.
Head coach Steve Kerr didn’t hold back after the team’s latest loss, saying, “we’re playing a Drew League game right now.”
Kerr isn’t wrong – his team simply isn’t playing the sort of basketball that they are known for.
They have time to turn it around but fans are becoming more and more concerned that it won’t happen.
Needing Curry
Curry has been performing terrifically, which is no surprise.
This was the 11th time in his career that he scored 50 points.
However, the rest of the team not named Curry didn’t deliver: they hit just 24-of-63 shots and only 10-of-33 from the three-point line.
And the defensive woes continued, as the Warriors let the Suns land 44-of-86 from the field and 21-of-40 three-pointers.
These are the same problems we have seen again and again from the Warriors all season.
At this point, Kerr and his staff are well aware of the problems plaguing Golden State, yet they persist.
The team still has a lot of time to turn everything around, start winning road games, and fix their defense problems.
But the fact that they’re aware of their issues and haven’t changed them is very troubling for the fans who were hoping for yet another Finals run this year.
