Dub Hub: Steph Curry vows to play better after loss vs. Pacers

Rounding up all Warriors and NBA related news for Tuesday, December 24th.

In today’s Dub Hub:

• Steph Curry vows to play better after 111-105 loss to the Pacers.
• Jonathan Kuminga scores 26 points off the bench, says he’s ‘used to it’ starting and not starting.
• Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama and Pistons’ Cade Cunningham named NBA Conference Players of the Week.

The Golden State Warriors were unable to build on their previous win, falling to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night, 111-105. Despite keeping the game close, the Warriors couldn’t overcome a tough night from their superstar point guard, Stephen Curry.

Curry played 35 minutes but managed only 10 points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field. After the game, the two-time MVP took accountability, promising to play better.

The slump is part of a troubling trend for Curry in December. Across eight games this month, he’s shooting just 37.8% from the field and 35.2% from beyond the arc—a noticeable drop from his impressive November averages of 47.7% from the field and 44.1% from three-point range.

Adding to the concern, Curry has been dealing with knee tendinitis, which could be impacting his ability to create separation from defenders and find his rhythm. When Curry struggles, so does Golden State’s ability to generate offense. As they approach the new calendar year, they’ll need Curry to rediscover his form in order to save themselves from their current free fall in the standings.
