The Golden State Warriors have experienced a turbulent season following Klay Thompson’s departure during the offseason. Many believed that Stephen Curry and the Warriors would continue their legacy of success despite the loss. Initially, it seemed possible. After an undefeated preseason, the Warriors started the regular season with a 15-3 record.
However, their momentum has slowed considerably since the early games. The team’s current 18-17 record reflects a squad struggling to find consistency. While the Dallas Mavericks have faced their own challenges, they hold a better position than the Warriors in the standings with a 20-15 record to date.
On Monday, the Warriors faced another setback, suffering a 129-99 loss to the Sacramento Kings. From the outset, the Kings controlled the game, building a 36-21 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Warriors never recovered, with their defensive lapses and offensive struggles on full display.
Following the blowout, Stephen Curry expressed his frustration during the post-game press conference. Curry openly stated that the Warriors are “not built” to overcome significant deficits.
“Nobody likes to get embarrassed like that. Especially the way we started the first quarter. When you’re looking up and it’s a double-digit lead before the first timeout. 36-21,” Curry said.

“I mean, the loss is a loss, so it’s not any more alarming than any other loss. So this is the NBA these days; it’s such a fast game and so many threes that there are just gonna be some nights where everything goes your way or everything goes the other team’s way,” Kerr said.
