The Golden State Warriors, by virtue of their popularity and star power, drew a holiday assignment, hosting the Boston Celtics on Monday for the second of TNT’s MLK Day doubleheader. And they were utterly embarrassed and humiliated, losing 125-85 in a game that wasn’t competitive after the first eight minutes.
The Warriors were not at full strength, while the Celtics were, but that shouldn’t be anywhere near a 40-point swing. It was, quite simply, a pathetic loss all around.
Unfortunately I have to grade it. I’ll make it quick, because the less time spent thinking about this game, the better.
