What crisis? Curry kicks off panic mode after a chaotic 24 hours

in 2025 Golden State Warriors were inconsistent at the start of the season. The Warriors are 7-6 and haven’t done much to impress, despite it being very early in the year. Despite the struggles, this team has veterans everywhere, and they won’t panic no matter how they go. With that balance and focus they begin Stephen Currybut it spreads from there, especially after the way he played against Spurs.

The Warriors lost in quick fashion to the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road, but responded by beating the San Antonio Spurs thanks to Curry’s 46-point performance. Steve Kerr called routine and expected. Despite the noise outside, Warriors remain unconcerned. Curry was asked where the panic meter would be in the last 24 hours, and he said it was at four, which means they’re not worried.

The loss to the Thunder, which Kerr called “embarrassing” and Jimmy Butler “humbling,” led to several extended meetings in the late morning and early afternoon at the team’s hotel in San Antonio before Wednesday night’s game, according to ESPN.

“We didn’t really panic,” Kerr said. “We were 6-6 with 70 games left. But we had to rediscover our identity.”

The loss prompted the organization to consider resting Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, but all three were against it. They also had a candid film session, where they discussed strategy and mindset.

“When you lose, you have to evaluate what’s going on,” Curry said. “Don’t be afraid of change. It means everyone is willing to adapt to what you have to do.”

Kerr said it “felt like our team again,” speaking to reporters reminded his players of the 2022 title teamwhich lost seven of its first eight games in March before winning the championship three months later. It was a rallying cry for the team.

“In an 82-game season, you’re going to have spells,” Kerr said. “The important thing is to rediscover your identity.”

There was plenty of anger and tension surrounding the Warriors heading into the Spurs game, but they remained focused. On the Warriors Crisis Scale, Curry was asked to rate the last 24 hours on a scale of 1 to 10.

“Four,” Curry said. “A solid four.”

The Warriors’ leadership is second to none, and that will carry them this season, even against teams that are younger than them, like the Thunder or Spurs.
