On November 12, the Warriors, who were in the midst of a six-game losing streak, defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder by 24 points in an away game. After the game, the Warriors' general manager bluntly stated that something was wrong with the team. Butler criticized the team's lack of fighting spirit. Dream Chasing said that he felt that the team did not go all out to win.

Facing the powerful defending champion Thunder, the Warriors were outgunned on both ends of the offense and defense. They trailed by 35 points after three quarters, and the final quarter was completely reduced to garbage time, and finally suffered a 24-point defeat. Curry was in poor form in his comeback. He only scored 11 points on 4 of 13 shots, suffered 5 fouls, and received the first flagrant foul of his career. It was too helpless to surrender a quarter and a half early.

Since the start of the season, the Warriors have only scored 6 wins and 6 losses in 12 games, with an away record of 1 win and 6 losses, and have suffered 6 consecutive losses on the road. The Warriors will continue their road trip and encounter a devilish schedule of 5 consecutive visits in 8 days. Tomorrow they will challenge the Spurs back to back on the road.

Talking about the defeat after the game, Cole said that the key to the game lies in stability and the performance of basic skills. We cannot lack in basic skills and still expect to beat the strongest team in the league at the opponent's home court.

Cole also said: Something doesn't feel right, everything that happens on the court, the way we play, and the way we handle things, are all wrong.

Butler said the team's players need to make sacrifices for the greater good of the team and show more fighting spirit. He said: Everyone must be honest with themselves. Most of the fight I'm talking about comes on the defensive end. If you can't stop your opponent from scoring, you're not giving it your all.

When asked about the difference between now and the final stage of last season (23 wins and 8 losses), Dream Chasing said: I think everyone was fully committed at that time and won at all costs. Now, it doesn't feel that way.

continued: I think in this league, everyone has personal goals, but you must pursue personal goals within the framework of the team. If it doesn't work, then you have to give up on your personal goal, or it will become the reason why others push you away.

Regarding his playing situation, Chai Meng said that he feels fine, but he still has to follow the team's arrangements; Warriors coach Cole has determined that Chai Meng will take a rest tomorrow, and he believes that Chai Meng needs to rest.
