Steve Kerr committed to finding Stephen Curry a rest day, insists superstar guard is exhausted
SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry needs a break, and Warriors coach Steve Kerr is going to make it a priority to find some rest for his superstar. You can see it, he just doesn’t have his energy right now.” Curry shot 6 for 21 overall and 4 of 14 on 3-pointers in just less than 36 minutes on the way to 20 points and also had seven assists and four rebounds, but committed seven of the Warriors’ 20 turnovers that led to 24 points for Denver. “I feel fine, obviously I didn’t play great at all so everybody including coach is going to try to figure out why,” Curry said, sounding hoarse and acknowledging “I’m a little stuffy.” “Mostly the turnovers, dumb plays all night but I had a really good run. You expect to have a level of consistency and whatnot so when it doesn’t happen it becomes a question.” Curry called five of his turnovers “completely unforced” and said many were “avoidable” mistakes. Golden State had won seven straight before the loss to the Nuggets and is 14-2 in games played by Curry’s new backcourt mate Jimmy Butler since he debuted Feb. 8.
