It is the first time in the Steve Kerr era, the Golden State Warriors have lost four games in a row. It's the first time the Warriors have dropped four straight since Feb. 26-March 2, 2013, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
The Warriors remain the team to beat in the NBA as a 2/3 favorite to win the 2019 NBA Championship.
"We just aren't scoring the ball well," Warriors forward Kevin Durant said. "It's tough for us to find the rim right now scoring it; 95 points, we don't really want that. We haven't been shooting the ball well, all of us. So we knock down some shots.
"I think our defense was solid to start the game. I think we did a good job on the defensive side of the ball. But after a while, shots don't fall, it leads to other things. They shot 23 more shots than us? That's a way to get beat."
Golden State gets right back to work Friday night hosting a 12-6 Portland team that has beaten them in the last two.
