Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said the team has lacked a "certain commitment" at both ends of the floor during the early stages of the 2022-23 season.
The reigning NBA champions suffered a 130-119 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, which dropped their record to 6-9, including an 0-8 mark on the road.
"We lack collective grit. We're playing a Drew League game right now," Kerr told reporters. "I've always felt the game rewards you if you commit to the game. If you really compete together, shots go in, calls go your way, breaks fall your way, and we're not earning any of this stuff.
