The worst home loss in 40 years
Golden State is gone. The beautiful team that dominated the recent past has dissolved. Another confirmation came in the evening because of the resounding victory of the Celtics on the pitch of the Warriors. The reigning NBA Champions won clearly 125-85. A 40 point lead for green and white.
It was the worst loss the Warriors had suffered during the Kerr era and the worst loss in 40 years (1985, loss to Dallas). Currently, the Golden State is not in the play-offs and, above all, has lost its identity (also due to many injuries, one above all to Green, the equalizer of the team).
“They showed a lot of confidence and pride. They are the opposite of what we are now. We should be a better team at home… We’ll see how we react to all this”, the words of Curry, the poster boy of the Warriors, also in a dangerous moment.
In other Martin Luther King Day games, Dallas’ loss against Charlotte (110-105) and Detroit’s success against Houston (107-96) are noteworthy. Memphis stopped Minnesota (108-106) and New York dominated the game against Atlanta (119-110). Everything was easy for Cleveland against Phoenix (119-92). Utah falls in overtime: 123-119 for New Orleans. Finally, Chicago beat the LA Clippers (112-99).
