After shootaround Tuesday morning, Stephen Curry sniped back at the Clippers’ recent suggestion that Golden State’s NBA title was the product of luck. The reigning MVP promised to “rectify that situation this year.”
If not for the clear sarcasm in his tone, fans might have thought the Warriors’ 114-103 exhibition loss Tuesday night to Denver underscored Curry’s remark.
Golden State hardly looked the defending champion it is. Against a franchise ESPN recently ranked the third-worst in all professional sports, the Warriors looked apathetic. They hit 7 of 28 three-point tries, let the Nuggets shoot 48.
