Warriors Stunned by Celtics
The Golden State Warriors suffered a severe defeat against the Boston Celtics today, swallowing a loss by a staggering 52-point margin on the road. This marked the fourth-largest losing margin in the Warriors’ franchise history, prompting comments from their star guard, Stephen Curry.
Curry’s Reflection
“This is something we’ve done to others before,” remarked Curry, hinting at similar dominant performances the Warriors have exhibited in the past.
Although some suggested that the Celtics might have had extra motivation facing the Warriors after their defeat in the 2022 NBA Finals, Curry deemed such notions outdated. “We’ve played them four times since then, so that narrative is kind of old,” he stated.
Nonetheless, Curry expressed respect for the Celtics’ performance, acknowledging them as one of the league’s strongest teams. “They played well tonight, and that’s tough to swallow for another team,” he said.
Coach Kerr’s Response
In response to such a significant loss, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr emphasized the importance of moving on quickly and focusing on the upcoming games. “Just flush this one down the toilet,” Kerr commented. “We had a good road trip going 3-1, and there are a million games left. Boston played well, and we couldn’t beat them tonight. Now it’s time to go home and get ready for the next game.”
Despite the Warriors’ recent good form, they faced a major setback against the Celtics today. Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith criticized the team heavily, even suggesting that they owe an apology to the American people.
Smith’s Criticism
“This is epic slaughter,” Smith exclaimed during halftime. “Some things I can’t say on television. I think they need to postpone the next game by a week to recover. They were down almost 50 at halftime, and Kuminga and Green didn’t seem to know what they were doing.”
Curry’s Struggle
Curry had a lackluster performance in this game, scoring only 4 points and going 0-for-9 from three-point range. However, Kerr expressed no concern, hoping that Curry could recharge during the upcoming break.
Looking Ahead
The Warriors’ next game is against the Milwaukee Bucks at home on Thursday, with Kerr revealing that guard Brandin Podziemski will be returning. Currently, the Warriors hold a record of 32 wins and 28 losses, trailing the Dallas Mavericks by 1.5 games for the eighth spot in the Western Conference.(LVBET)
