We can't just say: 'Oh well, when Draymond (Green) and Andre (Iguodala) get back we will be better,'" Kerr told reporters.
Golden State Warriors youngster James Wiseman is expected back soon, and head coach Steve Kerr addressed the matter.
Is he going to scrimmage, how is he feeling, what is he doing in the weight room, and is he progressing? Kerr didn’t rule out playing Wiseman on this upcoming road trip, and it’s apparent his return is happening soon. “The only thought is what is going to happen today.
The Warriors lost a 19-point lead against the Mavericks on Sunday, the largest blown fourth-quarter lead in the NBA this season.
"We got to figure out how to maintain our energy when the shots aren't falling," Curry said. "We've got to bring an edge," Curry said. "We tried a few different combinations to try to regain the momentum and we just couldn't find anything," he said. "We kind of folded when adversity hit." "We did not maintain our grit down the stretch," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. They built up a 21-point lead at one point and were up 19 heading into the fourth.
The Warriors suffered another fourth quarter to forget in their loss to the Mavs on Sunday night.

Spencer Dinwiddie scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and ended with 24 in 31 minutes off the bench. Yes, the Warriors allowed 39 points in the fourth quarter during the last home loss but at least they scored 30 in that defeat. That's how many points the Warriors scored in the fourth quarter, all while the Mavs dropped 33. Surprisingly enough, the Warriors actually made their first shot attempt of the fourth quarter. With the Warriors clanking shots, Dallas doubled Golden State in defensive rebounds. It also is the same number of free throws that Luka Doncic made in the fourth. The Warriors pointed to their missed shots in the fourth quarter leading to bad defense. The Warriors took 91 shots to the Mavs' 78. Golden State's largest lead of the game was when they went up by 21 in the third quarter. They did score 28 points in the third quarter, but their shooting was never close to how it started off.

This matchup was a perfect example of what a team can expect in the playoffs. “Everybody has to do their part,” Curry said, “and that’s what makes a great team. It has to be a collective effort. The Warriors couldn’t stay attached to Dallas’ shooters around the perimeter or protect the rim. Gary Payton II, who had a brace on his shin and apparently was nursing an injury, held Luka Doncic to 12 points in the first half on 3-for-10 shooting. Throughout the Mavericks’ 26-3 run in the fourth quarter, Golden State couldn’t make a shot. “I think if you look at the trend of Golden State, obviously, they’ve been a great team for, shoot, what, the last six, seven years, probably,” Dallas guard Spencer Dinwiddie said. In the opening minutes of the game, Golden State looked unbeatable. But it ended up being a different kind of night for Golden State. The kind that instills doubt in fans. The Warriors quickly established themselves as aggressors at both ends, and snagged five steals in the first quarter. For three quarters, that’s what it was, a game that had all the makings of a classic Warriors avalanche. Despite a slow start, Dallas shot 50% from the field, marking just the sixth time Golden State has allowed an opponent to do so this season.

Kerr said Thompson could fly and meet the Warriors for their game Thursday against the Mavericks. But he also has worked extensively with coach Dejan Milojević, who was hired to get the best out the big man. Following two knee surgeries, the first initially in April and then a clean-up in December, Wiseman hasn't played in a game since April 10, 2021. He’s going up to dunk on lobs, pushing the ball in transition. Wiseman looked good in that first scrimmage and continues to do so as he inches closer to his return. “He has every tool in the box," Toscano-Anderson said.
The Warriors held a 19-point advantage early in the fourth quarter, but then went cold down the stretch in Sunday's 107-101 loss to the visiting Mavericks.
It marked the first time this season the Warriors lost two straight at home. On the positive side, Green did participate in his first practice since early January on Saturday. The disappointing finish spoiled what was a brilliant start for the Warriors. They shot 58.3 percent from the floor and made six 3-pointers in the opening period. Warriors rookie Moses Moody started in his place, finishing with five points and five rebounds. Dallas newcomer Spencer Dinwiddie played a key role in that fourth quarter run, and his 3-pointer with 1:43 left in the period put the Mavericks up by six. Coming off a season-high 14 assists on Thursday, Stephen Curry posted another double-double on Sunday with 27 points and 10 assists.
