Steph Curry discusses Warriors' Game 5 win over Kings despite road struggles.
Steph discusses Dubs' Game 5 win against road woes on NBC Sports Bayarea. Warriors road demons may have been exercised.
Golden State defeated the Sacramento Kings 123-116 in Game 5 of their first-round NBA playoff series Wednesday night at Golden 1 Center after struggling away from Chase Center throughout the 2022-23 NBA season.
Steph Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area's Bob Fitzgerald and Kelenna Azubuike on "Warriors Postgame Live" that the team's trip win to take a 3-2 series lead was due to a critical factor.
Curry told Fitzgerald and Azubuike, "It was all defense," after the win. "On the road, trying to will adequate stops has been our challenge all year.
Since it was playoffs, the offense wasn't pretty. Curry also lauded Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney for the Warriors' offense, which defeated the Kings.
"Klay hits a big shot in the corner [and] Draymond's attacking the glass or attacking the rim every possession, every time they got it; Loon 22 rebounds," Curry added.
Like our offense, it wasn't powerful, but we were decisive and didn't turn it over, which allowed us to set up our defense.
Connecting the game late is huge. Road wins only. It's good to overcome the regular season's road history."
