Warriors one solution away from extending current joy ride originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
SAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors’ four-game win streak aligns perfectly with a new and more athletic era, stirring optimism among Dub Nation. The buzz is growing louder as fans rally behind their team.
This was evident at Chase Center on Friday night, as Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis wowed the sellout crowd (18,064) with their electrifying plays. Stephen Curry’s 30-point performance contributed to a 129-118 win over the Washington Wizards.
As the Warriors regain their energy, much of it is coming from their young players. The positive buzz continues to grow, but there is an area that could use some tightening: Defense.
Coach Steve Kerr emphasized the need for improvement after practice on Thursday and again after Friday’s win.
“If we can turn defense into offense, that’s the best offense,” Kerr said. “Get a stop and get out in transition, and then the defense can’t set up. And we’ve got a lot of really talented players who now have space to make a play. That’s what we’re looking for.”
Improved defense is key to maintaining their current win streak, according to both Kerr and Curry.
“In order for us to keep this winning streak and keep the vibes going, we have to address that,” Curry said.
As the Warriors face tougher opponents in the coming games, their defense will need to step up to support their impressive offensive performance. A key challenge lies ahead, but the team is ready to tackle it head-on.
