Believe it or not, the reigning NBA champions have lost their last four games in a row. After losing to the Orlando Magic in their last matchup, the Golden State Warriors have a 3-6 record for the season so far. Despite having a team filled with shooters and All-Stars, the Warriors just could not come out on top.

Curry has been pouring it in the last four games that the Warriors have lost. But the Warriors need to start defending without fouling. The Warriors attempted 15 free throws for the game whereas the Orlando Magic attempted 46 free throws. That just goes to show the lack of defense the Warriors have on their team.?

The Warriors’ inability on defense

Kevon Looney can rebound and score inside the paint. But he is arguably not much help on defense.
