OAKLAND — The Warriors have no longer been the unstoppable offense that shatters scoring records. Instead, they have mirrored an NBA team from the 1980’s.
The Warriors slogged through a 123-95 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday at Oracle Arena, marking their first four-game losing streak for the first time since the 2012-13 season and their sixth defeat in the past eight games. The obvious reasoning: the Warriors still do not have Stephen Curry (left groin) and Draymond Green (right knee). The harder explanation: the Warriors have shown no solution on absorbing those absences.
Yes, the Warriors still have two healthy All-Stars in Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.
