The Golden State Warriors are an amazing 37-4. But two of their losses have come in their last three games. As you’d expect, the squad isn’t exactly worried. Here’s the San Francisco Chronicle reporting:

The Warriors’ post-practice session Sunday started with Draymond Green playfully mocking Luke Walton’s work ethic and ended with Stephen Curry proudly wearing a Carolina Panthers cap while signing the team’s theme song.
If the Warriors are panicking about their declining play during the past 11 games, including an 18-point spanking from Detroit on Saturday, they sure weren’t conveying it before flying to Cleveland for an NBA Finals rematch.
“There’s no need to panic, turn on each other or point a finger. We all sucked,” Green said. “… You want to keep the environment loose. You don’t want to tense up and feel like it’s the end of the world and play like that. Yeah, we have to play with a chip on our shoulder, and we have to play with that fire and intensity, but you don’t want to play like you’re in a panic.”
The Warriors (37-4) will have a good barometer for their keep-it-loose approach during the next five games. They play road games at Cleveland and Chicago before hosting Indiana, San Antonio and Dallas — teams that went into Sunday’s games a combined 131-68 (.775).
