Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are in desperate mode after succumbing to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, but it doesn't mean they are losing confidence. In fact, it's the complete opposite.
Curry admitted that Game 2 is “absolutely” a Come-to-Jesus moment for the Warriors after that wake-up call they got. However, it isn't the first time they have faced such situation–having experienced the same thing in Game 5 against the Memphis Grizzlies–and they know exactly how to bounce back, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.
Steph Curry says he has confidence in this group to be resilient because they’ve come through previous moments like rebounding after G5 debacle in Memphis and other “Come to Jesus” type of moments this season. Asked him if this is a “Come to Jesus” moment. “Absolutely,” he said.

Stephen Curry also shared that the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room was rough after their Game 1 loss, which isn't surprising because they were on their way to victory with a 12-point lead heading to the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, they can take solace from the fact that they almost won it. Now, they just have to do a better job of protecting their lead and not getting complacent.
“So the locker room after Game 1 was rough. We all know the opportunity we let slip in terms of that fourth quarter,” Curry shared, via NBC Sports. “But it doesn’t kill your confidence that you can’t come out Sunday and win that game, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
The Warriors certainly understand the position they are in. They need to win Game 2 no matter what or else they'll be digging a hole that will be hard to get out of. By the looks of it, though, they are more than confident things will go their way this time around.
