When Stephen Curry struggles, it poses a challenge for the Golden State Warriors. In a recent NBA matchup against the Toronto Raptors, Curry went 0 for 9 from beyond the arc, contributing to the team’s 118-133 loss. This marked his second game this season without a successful 3-pointer, the first being a narrow 118-114 win against the Portland Trail Blazers on December 18. The Warriors are grappling with a challenging season, with key players experiencing dips in form and inconsistent performances. Coach Steve Kerr’s team is also facing defensive vulnerabilities, leading to bitter losses despite holding substantial leads. In the recent game against the Raptors, the Warriors’ defense faltered, allowing rookie RJ Barrett to score 37 points, while even reserve forward Chris Boucher contributed 17 points. This marked the Warriors’ 19th defeat in the 2023-2024 NBA season, with 10 losses occurring on their home court at the Chase Center. The once-lucky venue no longer guarantees success for Curry and his teammates.
