San Francisco, CA – The last two home games have ended bizarrely for the Golden State Warriors. They've relinquished fourth-quarter leads in consecutive appearances after leading for almost the entire game. In each contest, Stephen Curry and the Warriors dominated for three quarters but figured out a way to lose.

After the two disappointing outings, the three-time champion gave a message to his teammates.

“If you get out there you’ve got to impact the game, bring good energy, and that’s everybody it’s not just the young guys,” Curry told the media. “You have to bring good energy and bring attention to detail on the little things that help you win games. You need defensive energy no matter if you’re making shots or missing shots, you just got to go through it.”

Sunday's letdown transpired against the Dallas Mavericks. The Warriors were without Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and James Wiseman, who hasn't played this season.

The Dubs have been shorthanded all season, but Curry didn't use that as an excuse. The two-time MVP understands what it takes to win, and it's going to take a collective effort from all to win in the postseason.

“Whoever’s going to be out there in the playoff rotation that should be the expectation,” Curry shared. “We don’t want to feel like we do right now and have these last two games at home.”

All of the Warriors' problems won't get fixed overnight, but this issue has to get resolved quickly. If Golden State wants to win a championship, everyone has to contribute positively.
