Steph Curry remains grounded after Warriors snap 9-game losing streak vs Nuggets 

Steph Curry put together a series of eye-catching performances for the Golden State Warriors over the last 10 days. A statement win against the Denver Nuggets on Friday means the Warriors have now won five straight, and are now on the verge of qualifying for the postseason.

The Warriors' impressive five-game run showed that Steve Kerr's team is capable of competing against some of the top Western Conference teams. The 14-point win against the Nuggets was also a significant moment for the franchise, snapping a nine-game losing streak against Denver.

There is plenty of optimism surrounding this Warriors team, but Curry isn't getting ahead of himself. Following the game, the four-time NBA champion chose to remain grounded when asked about Golden State's chances going into the playoffs.

"We have a lot of work to do, and we still have a lot of work to do," Curry said.

A win over the Nuggets could be a turning point for a Warriors team that has been inconsistent over the last two years. Going into Friday's game, Golden State had not defeated Denver since March 10, 2022.

Steph Curry pointed out that the Warriors are playing some great basketball at the moment, and are focused on carrying that energy into the playoffs. He also acknowledged they are doing everything that a "championship-calibre" team does.

Wins against Western Conference rivals the Memphis Grizzlies, LA Lakers and Denver Nuggets over the last week mean the Warriors could avoid the play-in tournament. With just five games remaining in the season, Kerr's men sit in fifth position in the standings. The top six teams will automatically qualify for the playoffs.

Over the last five games, Curry led the Warriors in scoring on four occasions.

In one of his most memorable performances of the season, he recorded 52 points and 10 assists against the Grizzlies on Tuesday. Curry finished an incredible 12 3-pointers along the way.
