The Washington Wizards came into their clash against the Golden State Warriors winless in their Western Conference road trip. Those first three games were very winnable ones for a D.C. side desperately trying to sneak into the play-in picture.
The difference on Monday night is that it never really felt like a winnable game. Washington simple seemed outmatched on the road against a contending Warriors side. Golden State got a scorching 47 points from Stephen Curry, who was plenty motivated on the night with the return of Draymond Green while also celebrating his 34th birthday. Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson also chipped in a combined 40 points.
