    After losing against the Lakers, the Warriors’ road record drops to 7-24.

    The Golden State Warriors maintained a trend that Bay Area supporters have grown dreadfully accustomed to this season. The Warriors lost 113-105 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday to start their three-game road trip after ending a fantastic homestand with a perfect 5-0 record. Golden State’s latest loss gives them a road record of 7-24 this season, which contrasts sharply with their 27-7 record when playing at the Chase Center. Another poor start for the club proved to be too much for them to overcome.

     

    The most positive thing coming out of Sunday’s game was the return of Stephen Curry. The Warriors superstar point guard looked fine and didn’t seem to be hindered by the lower leg injury which cost him the previous 11 games. Aside from shaking off some rust at the beginning of the game, Curry played well finishing the day with 27 points, six assists, and two rebounds in 32 minutes of action. He especially had it going in the fourth quarter where he scored 19 points including three of his five made three-pointers. Curry spoke about how it felt to be back on the court after the game.

    Meanwhile, Warriors power forward Draymond Green injured his left hand in the first quarter and briefly left the game to get x-rays which would later come back negative. Green returned shortly thereafter and looked like his usual self as he continued to play through it. During his postgame interview, he downplayed the significance of the injury, calling it sore but also mentions that nobody in the league is considered healthy at this point in the season.

    Kyle Lowry will go down as a champion, a team player, and maybe the greatest Toronto Raptor ever. This is particularly amazing when you consider Lowry’s former reputation: He was known for being grumpy, injury-prone, resistant to change, and he didn’t particularly want to be a Raptor in the first place. Let’s meet the old Kyles, and watch how they blended and adapted to become the Kyle history will remember.

    Although Sunday’s loss was disappointing, the Warriors played well and left the game with all their key players relatively healthy. With Curry getting back into rhythm and the hopeful returns of Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II before the end of the regular season, the fifth place Warriors at a record of 34-31 have reasons to be optimistic moving forward.
