At least Warriors - without key players like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson - could at least be glad that fix star Stephen Curry was back after four months of absence.
"It feels like the first day of school again," the 31-year-old said before the match.
He was also greeted by huge cheers from the Chase Center home crowd.
"Looked amazing"There were a total of 23 points, seven assists and six rebounds for Curry when the league's jumbo fell again. Reigning champion Toronto Raptors won after 37 points by Norman Powell and 26 by Kyle Lowry. With the victory, they also secured a playoff spot.
- I think Stephen looked fantastic and we are another team with him on the field, says Warriors coach Steve Kerr.
- I hope the last 20 games this season will be a springboard for us into the next season that must be better.
Despite the injury, Curry still has the ambition to participate in this summer's Olympics.
