In 2016, the Warriors won 73 wins and 9 losses. Who lost to those 9 games? How did Curry perform at that time?

As the 2025 NBA championship winner, the Thunder have undoubtedly performed very well this past season, and not only have they won the championship, but they have shown their dominance since the regular season. Under the leadership of Alexander and others, the Thunder won the best record in team history with 68 wins, which is the first time since 2018 that a team has been able to win 65+ wins in a single season.

In addition, in the past 20 years, only the Warriors in the 2015-2016 season have achieved a better regular season record than the Thunder. As we all know, the Warriors in that year made the best record in the NBA regular season history with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, so their strength is naturally unquestionable. So, looking back on that season, who did the Warriors lose to each of the 9 games they lost to? What kind of performance did Curry, who was the team's star at that time, perform?

1.95-108 Losing to the Bucks (2015.12.12)

Curry: 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal

After the 2015-2016 season started, the Warriors directly scored a 24-game winning streak, so how hot they are is visible to the naked eye. Before the game against the Bucks began, the outside world was not optimistic that they could end the Warriors' winning streak, but the result was that the Bucks gave fans a surprise. From the beginning of this game, the Bucks firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. After the half, they led by 11 points. The Warriors began to counterattack in the second half, but the Bucks expanded the gap again with defense in the last quarter. In the end, they successfully won the game and won the victory. As a great contributor to the home team's winning, Monroe scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game. At the same time, Curry also scored 28+7+5 data, but the three-pointers were not accurate, and only 2 of 9 shots in the game were made, which was obviously not his normal performance.

2.91-114 Losing to the Mavericks (2015.12.30)

Curry missed

When Curry failed to play, the Warriors' offense was severely restricted. It is difficult for the team's offense to operate normally with Green and Thompson alone, especially when they were in a deadlock, neither of them was good at standing up and holding the ball to attack. In the end, Green and Thompson only made 8 of 30 shots in this game, and the Warriors also lost the game without any surprise. In addition to the team's 14 three-pointers, the performance of the surprise Barrea was also very critical. He contributed 23 points and 6 assists in the whole game.

3.110-112 Losing to the Nuggets (2016.1.13)

Curry: 38 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 1 block

This game was very anxious from the beginning. The Warriors relied on Barnes' outbreak in the second quarter and they narrowed the gap to 1 point. I thought the Warriors would completely regain the initiative in the second half, but they were good at exerting strength in the later period before, but in the third quarter, they were inaccurate. They only scored 18 points with 0 three-pointers and 6 shots in a single quarter, and the gap was also widened to double digits. Curry broke out in the last quarter. He made 7 of 8 shots in a single quarter and scored 20 points. The Warriors also scored 37 points under his leadership, but because they failed to keep up on the defensive end, they also scored 29 points, so the Warriors lost the game in the end.

4.95-113 Losing to the Pistons (2016.1.16)

Curry: 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals

After losing the game with the Nuggets, the Warriors lost to the Pistons again after only two days. This game was the first game of the Warriors' three consecutive away games. Many of their players were not in shape throughout the game, among which Green and Barnes had only made 3 of 18 shots. In this case, even though Curry scored 38 points, the team still lost to the Pistons, which was fully blooming. In the opponent's six players scored in double digits. In addition to Pope and Reggie who scored 20+, Drummond also scored 14 points and 21 rebounds in large double double.

5.105-137 lost to the Trail Blazers (2016.2.19)

Curry: 31 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals

This game was one of the worst losses in the Warriors' regular season. They had no defense in the whole game and let the Trail Blazers score 137 points, especially when facing Lillard, they never found a solution, and finally made him frantically score 51 points, 7 assists and 6 steals. Faced with the smooth attack of the Trail Blazers, the Warriors not only were weak on the defensive end, but also fell into confusion in the offense. If Curry and Thompson had not scored 54 points in total, the Warriors would have lost even worse in this game.

6.95-112 lost to the Lakers (2016.3.6)

Curry: 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal

The last time I lost to the Trail Blazers, the Warriors obviously had a poor defense, and this loss to the Lakers was more of an offensive problem. Curry and Thompson took 40 shots in the whole game but only scored 33 points. Green and Barnes also felt very average. In this case, they could still score 95 points thanks to other role players. Although Kobe only made 4 of 14 shots on the Lakers, Clarkson and other players stood up and performed. With their outbreak, the Lakers, who only won 17 games in the whole season, also played the biggest upset in the regular season.

7.79-87 Lose to the Spurs (2016.3.19)

Curry: 14 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals

In this defensive battle, the touch on both sides was average, so no one could break the score. In this way, the two sides remained stalemate until the last quarter. However, at the end of the game, the Warriors' condition not only did not recover, but instead had a power outage. They scored only 14 points in a single quarter, and they also suffered their 7th loss in the season..

8.106-109 Losing to the Celtics (4.1, 2016)

Curry: 29 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal

As the regular season is coming to an end, the Warriors still have not relaxed because after seeing the opportunity to create history, the whole team wants to break the 72-win record set by the 96 Bulls with their own hands. In this game against the Celtics, Curry performed as a master, but unfortunately other players were not in shape in this game. In the game against the Warriors, the Celtics on the opposite side scored 20+ for 3 players. In the most critical third quarter, facing the Warriors who played a strong offensive, they also responded to the offensive craze of 37 points in a single quarter, and in the end they successfully defended the victory.

9.117-124 Lose to the Timberwolves (2016.4.5)

Curry: 21 points, 6 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals

From the Timberwolves' defense, it can be seen that their first task is to limit Curry. Therefore, although the latter scored 21 points under the Timberwolves' defense, this was also the score that he got after 25 attempts. However, Curry is also very smart. When the Timberwolves frequently double-team him, he also gave 15 assists, so overall he was quite qualified in this game. But the main players on the Timberwolves are in better offense, especially Wiggins and Mohamed, who scored 67 points together, causing considerable trouble for the Warriors. In addition, Towns, who still has 20 points and 12 rebounds, the Timberwolves finally gave the Warriors the last loss of the regular season this season.
