All-Star guard Stephen Curry thinks owner Joe Lacob’s harsh criticism of former coach Mark Jackson is distracting to a Golden State Warriors team that has the NBA’s best mark and is on a franchise-record 12-game winning streak.

Following Lacob’s public apology for taking issue with Jackson’s management skills, Curry told reporters: “I think it’s unfortunate, just the distraction from what is going on right now. Obviously, we’re playing well, and you can nitpick of what’s the difference between this year and last year, but you’re talking about two great coaches [in Jackson and current coach Steve Kerr].”

Curry spoke at shootaround before Monday night’s game in Minnesota, where the Warriors will try to add to the team record book with an eighth consecutive road win.
