Stats show that Steph Curry is holding the Warriors back this season

The Golden State Warriors were fantastic at the start of the season as they posted a 12-3 record. However, things went south for the Dubs after the impressive start.

Heading into their game against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors were on a five-game losing streak. Also, they played without their two stars, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

Given the Dubs’ poor form in the past few games, they were expected to lose the game. Instead, the Warriors boasted great teamwork, led by Jonathan Kuminga, and ended the night with a 99-93 victory.

The Warriors improved their record to 13-8 as they clinched the fifth seed in the Western Conference. Another key stat from the game was that it was the Warriors’ fourth win without their star guard Steph Curry.

Overall this season, the Dubs are now 4-1 without the 4x NBA champion, per StatMuse. On the other hand, with Curry healthy and on the roster, they are just 9-7.

Over the years, Curry has remained a key figure in the Warriors’ side, but it appears the organization plays better with the 36-year-old on the sidelines.

In another way, the Warriors are on the verge of making history. After their six-point win over the Rockets, they now have the second-longest active winning streak by a franchise.

It was their 15th straight win against the Rockets as they have dominated Houston for nearly five years now. They are behind only the New York Knicks, who have a 16-game winning streak against the Detroit Pistons.
