Grading Warriors Players After Embarrassing 85-125 Blowout Loss Against Celtics
The Warriors were outmatched in every way on Monday night as the Celtics blew them out by 40 points in a shocking performance.
The Golden State Warriors endured a humiliating night at Chase Center, falling 125-85 to the Boston Celtics in what became arguably the most embarrassing home loss in four decades. Missing key players and struggling to find their rhythm, the Warriors were overwhelmed by a dominant Celtics performance.
From the start, it was evident that Golden State was in for a long night. Despite an early two-point lead, the Warriors faltered as Boston unleashed a 13-point swing during a seven-and-a-half-minute stretch in which the home team failed to score a single basket. By halftime, the Celtics had established firm control, and the third quarter only widened the gap as Boston outscored the Warriors 43-24, effectively sealing the game.
Golden State’s offense was disjointed, with Stephen Curry managing just 18 points on a night when the team shot a woeful 34.8% from the field. The Warriors’ long-range shooting, typically their hallmark, was historically poor—just 3-for-24 from beyond the arc in the first half, marking one of their lowest percentages in decades. Andrew Wiggins struggled mightily, going 1-for-11, and the absence of Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, and Brandon Podziemski further depleted the team’s options.
