Following a hard-fought victory against the Detroit Pistons, the Golden State Warriors again slipped into the losing zone. The Dubs took on the Toronto Raptors on Sunday and faced an embarrassing blow-out loss at home. However, the only promising sign for the Dubs Nation was Klay Thompson. The 4x NBA Champion had a good game shooting from the arc, but it went in vain as the star lacked support from his teammates.
It was that kind of night for the Warriors where the ball kept missing the bucket. Above all, Stephen Curry failed to drop a single three-pointer for the second time this season. The Dub Nation left the Chase Center, dropping their head down in embarrassment, but Thompson stopped them just in time to send out a promising message.

Apart from Moses Moody, who dropped 21 points, only Klay Thompson had a great outing against the Raptors. He dropped 25 points, which included five 3pts from 7 attempts. Meanwhile, the rest of the team had a poor game shooting the ball. Barring Thompson’s record, the Warriors only made 35 buckets in 85 attempts.
Apart from this loss, the Warriors were also carrying the baggage of the disappointing loss against the Nuggets and Chris Paul‘s injury.
Nevertheless, China Klay hasn’t lost hope for the championship run, as he dropped crucial updates following the loss. One of the reporters asked about his optimism going forward in the league. Klay silenced the room with his thumping statement. He said, “Um, we got Steph Curry. We got myself. Draymond Green’s coming back. Chris Paul will be back.” Notably, Draymond Green‘s comeback was again highlighted.
“Um, we got Steph Curry. We got myself. Draymond Green’s coming back. Chris Paul will be back. We have champions on the roster. I will never panic. Like I said, I really believe in this team.”

He further added, “We have champions on the roster. I will never panic. Like I said, I really believe in this team.”
While #11 responded positively after the loss, his Splash Brother also gave an assuring statement.
Stephen Curry assures a strong comeback
Stephen Curry started the season, generating MVP numbers, but as the season proceeded, he came nowhere closer to the conversation. On top of it, he showed signs of struggling to get buckets. A few games ago, he lost the streak for most games with at least a single three-pointer. Tonight, he failed to drop a single three-pointer for the second time this season.
