Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry acknowledged his injured right thumb bothered him but said it wasn't the reason why he matched the worst shooting half of his career, missing all eight of his shots in the second half of a 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night at Chase Center.

The Golden State Warriors legend had a rough shooting night in a 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. What he ddd after the game was a pure class winner.

And don’t forget, this past offseason, the Warriors lost a $30 million chunk of salary when they jettisoned Chris Paul strictly for luxury tax avoidance. The NBA owners wanted a system that brought big-market, big-spending teams like the Warriors to heel, and they received it.
