Echoing sentiments reminiscent of Steve Kerr, Stephen Curry was asked to sum up the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Toronto Raptors. While constantly struggling to find new narratives for their loss, Curry said, “We got punked from the jump, it was a rough one,” to express the team’s challenges.
In the first half, the Warriors, hindered by a sluggish start, found themselves trailing by as many as 27 points. Struggling to breach the 50-point mark, they lagged behind while the Raptors confidently rested with a comfortable lead of 76 points. Witnessing Steve Kerr benching his star players early in the game, fans began leaving the arena even before the game reached its conclusion.
Curry, widely regarded as the best shooter the NBA has ever seen, has struggled lately. After his 268-game streak of making at least one 3-pointer was broken last month, he failed to make a long-range shot again. It seems like the Dub’s only silver lining has also started to feel the pressure his teammates feel, as he scored just 9 points today.
