Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors lost their first game of the 2021-22 NBA season to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday (October 28) night.After being led by a game-high 19 points, Ja Morant led the Grizzlies comeback to force overtime where the side eventually went on to win 104-101.Curry recorded 36 points in the losing performance. In his 41 minutes of playing time, however, a huge concern for the Warriors' superstar was that he did not score in the fourth quarter or in overtime.When addressing the situation regarding his end-game scoring drought, as per Janie McCauley of the Associated Press, Curry had this to say on the matter:"The last two shots of regulation, I missed the last one. The game winner looked good. Those are two shots I take every day of the week. Overtime, I think I pressed a little bit. Maybe settling a little bit, especially when I didn't have it going from three and not, you know, getting into the paint, getting my runners off, get the ball moving. Little critical of myself on those last three shots. But, you know, with the way teams guard, I've got to be able to be a threat. I don't know how many field goal attempts I've got over the last three games. Didn't seem like a lot."Janie McCauley@JanieMcCAPStephen Curry on his tough night in the fourth quarter and overtime:11:13 AM · Oct 29, 20214Stephen Curry on his tough night in the fourth quarter and overtime: https://t.co/bSFyMERPw9As Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors look to bounce back from their first loss of the season, a more pressing issue arises in the form of Curry's field goal drought in the fourth quarter.Stephen Curry scores 36 points in Golden State Warriors' loss to the Memphis GrizzliesStephen Curry (left) in action for the Golden State Warriors.Stephen Curry started off the season looking like the MVP candidate he is.
