Another game, another night where it felt like the sky was falling for the Golden State Warriors. They lost a disappointing 118-108 ball game to the Los Angeles Lakers, dropping them back under .500 with a record of 22-23.

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.

The Los Angeles Lakers took care of business on Saturday night by defeating Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in a primetime battle. Anthony Davis and LeBron James led the way in a game the Lakers had control of for much of the way.
