The four-time NBA champion opened up on his team's performances during the post-game interview.

"I think there were a couple of breakdowns on the ball switches, letting them walk into threes," Curry said. "You are leaving capable shooters open. We know we cannot turn the ball over. There was definetly moments like that where we could've taken control of the game and the momentum."

"We’re not winning," Curry said. "We’re not executing well enough for 48. There’s a lot of things you can point at. I think tonight was a mixture of everything."

However, the Warriors star also shed light on some positives they could take into their next game.

"But we were resilient enough to give ourselves a chance, so I like the spirit that we have," Curry continued. "Now its matching that with execution and again sustained effort no matter who is on the floor."

Curry followed his 39-point outing on Friday with 48 points against the Trail Blazers. Still, the Warriors failed to capitalize on his scoring surge and have lost both games since his return from an extended spell on the sidelines.

Golden State will travel to Arizona on Thursday for its next game and will hope to regain momentum against the Phoenix Suns.

Steph Curry addresses the Warriors’ continuity issues amid an injury-hit season

The Golden State Warriors have been hit by a wave of injuries early in the season. With a different starting lineup in each of their last nine games, the team has struggled to find any real continuity.

Curry, who was playing just his second game since returning from injury, addressed the issue on Sunday.

"Its a revolving door which every team goes through," Curry expressed. "Whether it's forced or not for us to find rhythm, I don't know how many teams are as successful throughout 82 with that (injuries) as part of their identity. I am hoping we can correct that."

After Curry returned to the lineup, Draymond Green started his first game in weeks on Sunday, with Al Horford and Gary Payton II as the only names on the injury report.
