Curry jokes after loss: ‘Played my best game of the year'

Steph Curry had his worst performance of the regular season Saturday in San Antonio, but he didn't let it dampen his spirits after the game.

Not long after the Warriors' 87-79 loss to the Spurs, the reigning NBA MVP poked fun at himself on Twitter.

"I don’t know about y’all, but I thought I played my best game of the year," Curry joked. "Live and Learn. On to the next!"

Curry struggled mightily against San Antonio's league-best defense, shooting just 4-for-18 from the field, including a career-worst 11-for-12 from 3-point range. 

Speaking with media after the game, Curry took responsibility for Golden State's seventh defeat of the season.

“We just got a little rushed and that started with me,” he said. “Not getting a feel for the game and forcing it a little bit. There’s no panic at all, just a frustrating feeling to bring the effort we needed to win, but just not executing and playing smart enough."
