Unfortunately, Golden State’s on-court performance suffered as a result of the pregame cutesy injection. Despite fielding a fully healthy team for the first time in weeks, the Warriors lost badly, 123-111, at home against Tyrese Haliburton and his Pacers.
Stephen Curry shot just 6-of-18 from three and 9-of-24 overall for 25 points, marking one of his poorest shooting games of the season. The Warriors shot just 14 of 48 from three as a team and were never able to establish any rhythm against the Pacers, who rank second in the NBA in PACE.
To make matters worse, the Lakers easily defeated the Sixers 101-94 at home, increasing their advantage over the Warriors in the standings to 1.5 games. The Pacific Division opponents are locked in a fight for the final two play-in berths with three weeks remaining in the season.
