“A lot of it’s just getting our edge and a chip on our shoulder,” Curry said after Wednesday night’s 108–103 loss to the Utah Jazz. “Having that vibe when you walk on the floor like we know what we’re about to do. Right now, we’re still thinking a little bit and trying to figure it out, but we’re close.
“We’re close, and obviously you want to stay healthy, and that’s the biggest part of trying to continue to build momentum, night in, night out, what we can expect when we’re out there on the floor.”
