The Golden State Warriors are struggling to regain their footing after falling below .500 for the first time this season. They recently lost to the Toronto Raptors 104-101, despite holding a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry led the team with 26 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds but was unable to make an impact on the final play. The Warriors, now at 19-20, are looking to bounce back as they head to Minnesota next, but injuries to key players like Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga have hampered their efforts.
