As Stephen Curry exited the game for good near the end of the third quarter, with the Boston Celtics up by 32 points on their way to a 40-point blowout victory over the Warriors, Curry probably hadn't felt further away from Golden State's 2022 NBA championship than he did on Monday.

The Golden State Warriors endured one of their more embarrassing losses in the Steve Kerr-Steph Curry era as they fell 125–85 to the Boston Celtics on Monday. The Warriors' 40-point blowout loss at the Chase Center marked the team's worst home loss since 1985, four decades ago.

Monday's Warriors-Celtics game was a matchup of championship-winning franchises that faced off for the NBA title just three seasons ago. Only one team on Monday looked remotely like a playoff team, much less a title contender in 2025.
