In fact, even Steph Curry was held to just 13 points by the Lakers as he failed to score a single point in the second half of the matchup. This truly sums up the Warriors' struggles in the 2024-25 NBA season.

Steph Curry finished the loss with 13 points, one rebound, nine assists and two steals while shooting 4/17 from the field and 2/9 from the three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time. Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

And don’t forget, this past offseason, the Warriors lost a $30 million chunk of salary when they jettisoned Chris Paul strictly for luxury tax avoidance. The NBA owners wanted a system that brought big-market, big-spending teams like the Warriors to heel, and they received it.
