Steph got pep talk from Kerr during off night vs. Lakers

It was an off night for Steph Curry in Tuesday night's 121-114 season-opening win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. 

An off-night that somehow still resulted in his eighth career triple-double. Go figure. 

During the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr gave Curry a pep talk. 

"Hang in there," Kerr said to Curry. "I've seen you a million times have a night where it's not going your way. You know that all it takes is one. Keep fighting."

Curry led the team in scoring with 21 points but shot 5-of-21 from the field (23.8 percent). It was certainly an off-night for Curry, something he is all-too-familiar with at Staples Center. 

When asked why he struggles at the shared home of both the Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, Curry was open to advice.
