Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors lost at home to the Indiana Pacers, 111-105, on Monday night. Moments after the game the star guard got honest about his shortcomings down the stretch and what he needs to do better in oder to help his team win.

But Curry has slipped into a bit of a slump. Even counting that surge against the Timberwolves on Saturday night, he is shooting 38 percent in eight December games, creaky numbers that began right around the time his knee tendinitis started popping up on the injury report.

The Warriors weathered four turnovers in the first five minutes to stay in lockstep with the speedy Pacers. Trayce Jackson-Davis, who started the season on a bizarre finishing slump, slammed down four early dunks. He’d erupted for a 15-point, nine-rebound performance against Minnesota, suggesting he has rediscovered his touch around the rim.
