Stephen Curry is unavailable for Tuesday's game vs. Jazz, as the Warriors continue to focus on preserving the legendary guard's health

In fact, even Steph Curry was held to just 13 points by the Lakers as he failed to score a single point in the second half of the matchup. This truly sums up the Warriors' struggles in the 2024-25 NBA season.

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.

Steph Curry finished the loss with 13 points, one rebound, nine assists and two steals while shooting 4/17 from the field and 2/9 from the three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time. Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

Eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023 Western Conference Semifinals, Golden State then failed to make the playoffs in 2024 when it was eliminated in the Play-In Tournament. Now 21-21 and 11th in the Western Conference standings, the Warriors look far from a title contender.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 118-110 on Saturday, led by superstars Anthony Davis and LeBron James combining for 61 points. LA's star duo outscored the Warriors' entire starting lineup, as they were overshadowed by some disappointing performances.
