Without Curry, it was difficult for the Warriors to keep pace, especially against Ivica Zubak led the Clippers with 23 points and 17 rebounds. Coupled with James Harden’s support game, Zubak constantly challenged the Warriors, capitalizing on second-chance eyes and defensive inconsistencies. Kerr acknowledged Zuback’s impact, saying, “He just keeps getting better and better … every time they needed a bucket, they seemed to get it from him.”

Despite a late rally with Andrew Wiggins leading the charge, the Warriors lost. “I enjoyed our fight‚” Kerr noted, adding that forward Jonathan Cumminga and others provided some momentum, but could not sustain it against a well-prepared Clippers team. As the Warriors manage Curry’s potential absence, Kerr pointed to Wiggins and the team’s depth as keys to adapting if Curry misses extended time.

The Warriors’ road to recovery will depend heavily on their ability to minimize turnovers and improve their interior defense, something Kerr emphasized, noting: “Most games come down to a few possessions and if you give up 10 possessions it will be hard to win.”
