Warriors grace NBA with its worst blowout of the season in a 53-point loss

The loss is the biggest in the NBA since December.

Well, this was a night for the Warriors to forget. On Friday, the Toronto Raptors blew the doors off the Golden State Warriors 130-77, a deficit that reached 61 points at its worst and ended at 53 by night’s end.

The Warriors were without both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green due to injury, which gave the Raptors a recipe for a rout that showed no signs of stopping. Curry was dealing with a lingering tailbone injury, while Green could barely keep hold of the ball in pregame warmups.

The win was just the Raptors second in 15 games, adding insult to injury to an already down Warriors squad. The game now stands as the biggest blowout in the NBA this season, and the biggest since the Dallas Mavericks beat down the Los Angeles Clippers by a 51-point margin in December 2020.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was less than pleased in his postgame comments about the team’s play.

Twitter, of course, was on point with the quips as Toronto’s onslaught on Golden State continued throughout the night.

The Warriors currently sit fourth in the Pacific with a 23-26 record on the season thanks to the loss.
