Stephen Curry: 'Sixteen-game winning run was fun while it lasted'

Stephen Curry has described the Golden State Warriors' 16-game winning streak as "fun while it lasted" after the Western Conference leaders lost to the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Warriors, who have the best record in the NBA, slipped to a 105-98 defeat to the Grizzlies last night, leaving them with 21-3 this season.

The point guard told reporters: "We understand it was a nice run and something the franchise has never done before.

"It's put us in a good position to take a tough loss like we did tonight and keep moving. We'll be all right. It was fun while it lasted."

The Warriors face the in-form Oklahoma City Thunder in their next game on Thursday.
