BREAKING: Steph Curry Owns the Blame After Warriors’ Collapse vs. Pacers
In the aftermath of a shocking 114‑109 defeat to the Indiana Pacers, veteran star Steph Curry stepped up and publicly shouldered responsibility for his team’s breakdown, saying, “There are parts of the game I made it too hard on all of us.”
The defeat drops the Golden State Warriors to 4‑3 on the season and arrives after an 11‑point fourth‑quarter lead evaporated into a 21‑5 Pacers run. Curry led the team with 24 points but did so on a disappointing 8‑for‑23 shooting night (4‑for‑16 from three), admitting his playmaking and decision‑making faltered when it mattered most.
Head coach Steve Kerr didn’t pull punches either, bluntly identifying “poor execution down the stretch” and criticizing outdated offensive choices such as persistent post‑mismatches. “Which would’ve been great in 2005, but not anymore,” Kerr quipped, underscoring a veteran squad failing to adapt in a pivotal moment.
The combination of Curry’s self‑admission and Kerr’s pointed critique lands a sharp blow to the Warriors’ reputation as polished contenders. The message is clear: experience means nothing without urgency. With young players expected to carry more load and the pressure mounting in the Western Conference, the alarming late‑game collapse raises questions about team chemistry, leadership and whether the Warriors still have what it takes to pivot into a serious run.
One thing remains certain: Curry has publicly accepted his share of the blame, and his teammates — along with the organization — now face a reckoning. Will this internal moment of accountability spark a resurgence, or will the Warriors continue slipping on winnable nights? The answer could define their season.
