Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors addressed the team's seeming lack of ball movement which may be the reason for their struggles.
As per Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Durant acknowledged that the Warriors are not moving the ball as often in the past few games. This could be due to the absence of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green who are out with injuries.
Good Kevin Durant quote on the Warriors lack of typical ball movement lately, relating it to the different personnel (no Steph/Draymond) that makes it more challenging: "I know Warriors basketball is 5, 6, 7 passes in a possession, but we not going to get that at this point." pic.twitter.com/LWf8GLJ2pn

In the Warriors' game on Sunday night, they lost to the San Antonio Spurs 104-92. This marks their third-straight loss for the season, an uncharacteristic stat for the back-to-back champions.
Kevin Durant finished the night with a team-high 26 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. He was 2-of-10 from the field come halftime. He finished the game with 8-of-25 field goal shooting and 1-of-8 from downtown.
Klay Thompson chipped in 25 points and was 3-of-11 from 3-point country. The Warriors tried to mount a comeback but ultimately fell short thanks to a team effort by the Spurs.
Per Connor Letourneau of the SFGate.com, Steve Kerr admitted that his team is struggling. He joked that they're now playing in the real NBA — something which they haven't been in the last few years.
“This is the real NBA,” Kerr said. “We haven’t been in the real NBA the last few years. We’ve been in this dream. Now we’re faced with real adversity. We have to get out of it ourselves.”
Adversity has hit the Warriors' dynasty and everyone awaits how the team will react to this struggle.
