Stephen Curry says coach Steve Kerr gave the Golden State Warriors the belief they could turn their season around, leading to their winning streak.

The Warriors made a 0-3 start to the 2026-27 NBA season, but a 120-100 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday means they have now won six in a row.

Curry played a big role in the victory, scoring 29 points after a much-improved second-half display, falling just short of making it four straight games with 30 points as he was rested late on.

He began 1-for-8 and was 2-of-10 at halftime before coming on in the third quarter and finished 9-for-19 with six 3-pointers.

And Curry believes Golden State's impressive run stems from Kerr's team talk after their loss to the Phoenix Suns on October 24.

"It was in Phoenix; I think he [Kerr] was talking about after that game," Curry said.

"I know a lot of guys didn't play, but he just mentioned sticking with the process and the things that he'd noticed on film and just the feel in games, like we were really close to being able to put together, you know, winning performances.

"And the Memphis [Grizzlies] game, again, inside the last four minutes, the way that those guys played in Phoenix and then how we've been playing since, it's just small building blocks of an identity of how this team is supposed to compete.

"And I think the biggest part is he just was proud of how hard we were playing. And everybody's taking on that challenge as well when they come in the game."

Curry came up against former 'Splash Brother' Klay Thompson, who scored 11 points in his reunion with the Warriors, ultimately finishing 3-for-10 from the floor.

Curry and Thompson played 11 seasons together, winning four NBA titles, and the 38-year-old says it was a special game for the pair, given they do not know how many matchups they have left.

"It's still surreal playing against him. It's always going to be that way because we've gone through so many battles together," Curry added.

"But I think mostly it's just an excitement of the fact that we're still able to have battles.

"And, you know, every one that you get is one closer to the end, so you try to appreciate it, even though there's definitely a competitive spirit out there."
