Curry and Kerr say Warriors lack ‘grit’ as champions’ road record moves to 0-8

• Golden State lose to Phoenix despite Curry's 50 points
• Coach and star player highlight team's lack of cohesion

Senior figures at the Golden State Warriors admit the team lacks grit" and cohesion as the NBA defending champions extended their record on the road this season to 0-8 after a 130-119 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.

Stephen Curry could hardly be blamed for the defeat: he scored 50 points against the Suns and is averaging 32.8 points this season, the second-best figure in the league.
