Despite a 50-point performance from Steph Curry in Phoenix on Wednesday night, the Golden State Warriors are still winless on the road in the 2022-23 campaign.
Curry finished the contest with a game-high 50 points on 17-of-28 shooting from the field, with seven made triples to go along with nine rebounds and six assists. Although Curry tallied a new season-high, it wasn’t enough to solve the Warriors’ struggles on the road.
As Curry fired away, the Suns dismantled the Warriors’ defense with a red-hot performance from beyond the arc. On the way to a 130-119 win over the Warriors, the Suns buried 21 triples on 52.5% shooting from long distance.
All five members of the Suns’ starting rotation scored in double figures, with Devin Booker, Cam Payne and Mikal Bridges leading the way.
With the Warriors’ loss in Phoenix on Wednesday, Steve Kerr’s team has fallen to 0-8 on the road to start the new season. The Warriors will get a game at home in San Francisco on Friday against the New York Knicks before heading back out on the road for a contest against the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
After Golden State’s road struggles fell to a new low with a loss to the Suns in the desert, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Wednesday night.

Maybe the low point of the early season for the Warriors. Steph Curry scores 50 and they still lose by 11 in Phoenix. They’re 0-8 on the road. Klay Thompson’s shooting struggles deepen. A silent Jordan Poole night. Bottom-five NBA defense. Suns popped them for 130 points.

Steph Curry had as many rebounds as Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson, combined.

Steph Curry vs the Phoenix Suns.
Literally 1 man vs an entire basketball team.

There’s no more adjectives to describe Steph Curry anymore. Just enjoy this sh*t.

Stephen Curry continues to be the greatest show on earth.

Stephen Curry with the 11th 50-point game of his career, fourth among active players.
– He’s averaging more PPG, RPG and APG than Michael Jordan during the Bulls’ “Last Dance” season.
– Yet Warriors get run off court by Suns, falling to 0-8 on the road & 1-4 vs. top-6 seeds— Ben Golliver (@BenGolliver) November 17, 2022
Stephen Curry is having arguably the best season of his career. The Warriors are 6-9. They’ll never have a player as good as him for decades, at least. None of this “two timelines” stuff. Go all-in on this dude immediately.

Suns can’t guard Steph. Unfortunately warriors also cannot guard suns rn

The Warriors remain winless on the road, falling to the Suns 130-119.
Stephen Curry continued his terrific start scoring 50, but once again did not get the support he needed. This is Curry’s 11th 50-point game and just the third time the Warriors have lost when he’s done so.

Stephen Curry’s season-high 50 points weren’t enough to keep the Warriors from falling to the Suns 130-119 in Phoenix. Golden State falls to 6-9 this season and 0-8 on the road.

One man show with the warriors. Was June that long ago?

November:
Poole 8gms- only once has he shot 50+%
Klay 6gms- yet to shoot 50% for a game— warriorsworld (@warriorsworld) November 17, 2022
The last time the Warriors had a player score at least 50 points and lost by 10 or more points was 12/3/2000 when Antawn Jamison scored 51 in a loss to the Seattle Supersonics

Analyze the #Warriors all damn day, but what basketball team at any level can thrive getting ZERO, pretty much nightly, from 7 of its players!

Moody
