Warriors Struggle Without Curry, Face Offensive Drought

Stephen Curry’s absence due to a right knee injury severely impacted the Warriors’ offensive rhythm. Golden State scored just 94 points, struggling against Philadelphia’s suffocating defense. The Warriors turned the ball over 18 times, leading to easy breakaway opportunities for the 76ers.

Coach Steve Kerr’s squad failed to generate consistent scoring patterns without their star guard. The Warriors bench could not offset the elite play of the 76ers’ roster. Golden State’s three-point shooting, usually a strength, dried up completely with only 25 percent accuracy. This loss dropped them further in the Western Conference standings.

What’s Next for These Contenders in February?

The 76ers will look to extend their winning streak as they continue their 2025-26 season schedule. V.J. Edgecombe continues emerging as a potential Rookie of the Year candidate with performances like this. Future matchups against Eastern Conference rivals will test this Philadelphia squad’s sustainability.

The Warriors must get Curry healthy to compete consistently. With limited window for the playoffs, San Francisco cannot afford extended losing streaks. Will the 76ers maintain momentum into the All-Star Break, or will Golden State bounce back strongly?
