SAITAMA, JAPAN (AFP) – Stephen Curry said the Golden State Warriors had enjoyed a “productive” pre-season trip to Japan after the reigning NBA champions beat the Washington Wizards yesterday for a second time.
Curry scored a team-high 17 points in almost 17 minutes on the court as the Warriors downed the Wizards 104-95 in front of a packed crowd in Saitama.
The Warriors will attempt to win their fifth NBA title in nine years when the season begins later this month and Curry believes they will be ready for the opener.
“I think we made it productive and I think we got a little bit better as a team,” said Curry.
“We have three more pre-season games, a lot of practice time, a big chance for us to fine-tune a lot of things to get ready for the season.”
