NBA: Warriors disaster, worst defeat in Kerr era

Worst home defeat in 40 years

Golden State isn't there anymore. The magnificent team that dominated in the recent past has è dissolved. Yet another confirmation è came in the night with the Celtics’ bombastic victory on the Warriors’ court. The reigning NBA champions imposed themselves with a very clear 125-85. As many as 40 points for the green-and-whites.

This is the worst defeat suffered by the Warriors in the Kerr era and the worst deficit in 40 years (1985, defeat against Dallas). At this time, Golden State è out of the playoffs and, above all, has lost its identity (also accomplice to several injuries, one of all that of Green, the team's balancer).

"They showed up with great confidence and swagger. They are exactly the opposite of what we are today. We should be a better team at home…. We will see how we react to this", the words of Curry, image man for the Warriors, also in a decidedly delicate moment.

In the other Martin Luther King Day challenges, of note were Dallas’ loss to Charlotte (110-105) and Detroit’s success against Houston (107-96). Memphis stops Minnesota (108-106) and New York prevails in its challenge with Atlanta (119-110). It was all easy for Cleveland against Phoenix (119-92). Falls, all'overtime, Utah: 123-119 to New Orleans. Finally, Chicago beats the LA Clippers (112-99).
