Another game, another night where it felt like the sky was falling for the Golden State Warriors. They lost a disappointing 118-108 ball game to the Los Angeles Lakers, dropping them back under .500 with a record of 22-23.

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.

The Golden State Warriors fell to a 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, Jan. 25. Steve Kerr's roster went in at halftime just one point behind their conference foes. Unfortunately, an uncharacteristically disastrous second-half showing from Stephen Curry put the Warriors on the back foot.
