The Golden State Warriors lost another winnable game on Thursday night, falling 122-113 to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

Out of their last nine appearances, the Warriors have only taken home the win twice. A team that was once dominating the regular season is now unrecognizable. The absence of Draymond Green is a large part of the problem, but they have to figure out how to withstand that issue quickly.

Curry believes rookie Moses Moody has some things that Golden State desperately needs to be successful.

“He’s just gritty. Plays hard every possession,” Curry told ClutchPoints. “Got the level of competitiveness and energy that we need… He seems very confident in who he is and he’s trying to get better every game, every opportunity he gets, and you just love the way he approaches it.”
