Golden State’s oldest team in the NBA rarely have full practices due to their rigorous schedule. Steve Kerr, however, was excited for the recent practices, emphasizing its impact. In their recent 121-116 win against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors showed significant improvement, shooting 46.8% and 48.8% from 3-point range, holding a 24-point lead, and committing only eight turnovers.
Before challenging the Suns, the Warriors had a long film session, in which veteran players rested and younger players spent time on the court, including 21-year-old Moses Moody. He spoke about the increased value of the recent practices, which he didn’t fully grasp before.
Despite the majority of veterans not participating in intense sessions, Gary Payton II scrimmaged, although his status for the upcoming game was still uncertain. The Warriors have faced challenges with key players missing games, but the team remains resilient. The emphasis on practice is apparent, especially for young players like Moody and Jonathan Kuminga, who mentioned the team’s ability to perform despite missing players.
Throughout these challenging times, players look up to No. 30, Stephen Curry, who sets a high standard with his work ethic. Following practice, the team has a good schedule and practices to come, and they aim to emulate Curry’s dedication and passion for the game.
