SIGN UP HERE On March 23, Curry returned and the Warriors beat the Hawks, but the two-time MVP was lost for the rest of the regular season.

"The only time I was really worried, honestly, was the last week of the season," Steve Kerr told reporters on Monday. "Our defense was so bad in Indiana and in Utah. There was absolutely a part of me that thought, 'I don't know if we can get our defense together.'
"I know we'll get our offense together, but defense requires a mentality and a spirit and a unity and a sense of purpose from the five guys on the floor. And we were just a shell of ourselves. I did understand the concept and the fact that we weren't playing for anything and that we had a lot of injuries.

"But I wasn't sure. You're never sure in this business of anything. I had some concerns but I think our guys did a great job right away in the Spurs series of reestablishing our defense and getting us back on track."
From March 9 through April 10, the Warriors slipped to 17th in defensive efficiency.
Over that same period, they allowed their opponents to shoot 47 percent from the field -- seventh worst in the league.
Through nine playoff games so far, the Warriors boast the No. 1 defense, allowing just 99.4 points per 100 possessions.
"Now we have Steph back and he's getting his feet wet, and so I feel like we're really rounding into form," Kerr said.
