Warriors’ losses of Moody, Curry continue to take a toll

SAN FRANCISCO — Without Moses Moody, who went down with a gruesome knee injury the last time they took the court, the Warriors lacked a spiritual leader beyond his years who had taken over a pregame locker room ritual from Kevon Looney. “All of a sudden you don’t hear that today,” Draymond Green said after Golden State eked out a 109-106 win over the NBA-worst Nets on Wednesday. Moody’s absence, and the emotional toll of losing such a beloved teammate in such devastating fashion, was clearly still wearing on the Warriors in their first game since the fifth-year wing’s patellar tendon ruptured, knocking him out for at least the next 9-12 months.
