Warriors need for imminent trade becomes desperately obvious in blowout loss

Star duo Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler each went for 30 points at Chase Center on Sunday night, but it didn't matter as the Golden State Warriors were blown out 124-111 by the visiting Atlanta Hawks.

The need for an imminent trade that brings about a third scorer was desperately obvious, with the Warriors unable to match Atlanta's well-rounded offense as they had six players score at least 11 points, and four players score at least 18 points in the 13-point win.
