Stephen Curry explains low-scoring game, suggests it may happen more often this season

While it was an uncharacteristically low number for Curry, it did not have any negative impact on the team.

The Warriors came away with a 131-118 win, and four different players finished with at least 20 points.

Speaking after the game, Curry pointed to the team’s offensive system as the main reason behind his low total, rather than anything specific to him.

“Our offense is kind of designed over the course of 82 [games], how certain teams defend and if we’re able to move the ball, take care of it.”

He added: “We had a little rough patch in the first half, but for the most part, especially in that third quarter, when we took care of the ball, we created good shots. Everybody’s capable of finishing plays.”

Steph Curry pleased with Warriors’ shared scoring despite quiet night

Curry was in good spirits despite his low point total, pointing out that even without the ball, his movement helped create space for others to take advantage.

Moses Moody, coming off the bench, particularly exemplified this, scoring 20 points and shooting 71.4% from three-point range.

“Knowing how I can be an off-ball threat creates some chaos. [We] got to the line, guys knocked them down. Mo came in, huge energy for us.

“So, that’s how you get through a regular season, just the unpredictability but the confidence that everyone can step up,” he concluded.

While Warriors fans may want him to put up big numbers every night, Curry’s reminder that he will not always do so is actually a positive sign for Golden State.

It suggests the team is moving towards a more collective approach to scoring, which will be important when Curry is resting or has an off night. This kind of balance could help keep them competitive over the long stretch of the season.
