The Golden State Warriors suffered their 20th loss of the season on Monday night, falling to the Toronto Raptors 104-101. The defeat dropped their record to 19-20, pushing the team below .500 for the first time this season.
As the NBA season nears its halfway point, the Warriors find themselves at a pivotal crossroads. The team doesn’t want to waste another year of Steph Curry’s career by tanking, but they also lack the talent to legitimately compete for a championship. With their struggles and the NBA Trade Deadline looming on February 6th, Golden State needs to make a decision on the direction of their season.
