The Toronto Raptors gave the Golden State Warriors a very tough night on Sunday, beating them 133-118 and handing Golden State their 19th loss.
Following the game, Steph Curry said what many fans were thinking.
“We got punked from the jump…It was a rough one,” Curry said, according to 95.7 The Game, via Legion Hoops.

Curry might feel that his team got punked but many others believe they just got outplayed.
RJ Barrett had an explosive night with the Raptors, scoring 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Meanwhile, five other Toronto players were in double digits and toyed around with the Warriors from the very start of the game.
Klay Thompson tried his hardest for the Warriors, leading them with 25 points, and Trayce Jackson-Davis earned a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
As for Curry, he had one of his worst nights of the season, scoring only 9 points during his 29 minutes on the court.
The final score of Sunday’s game doesn’t give a good indication of just how poorly the Warriors performed and there was a time when the Raptors were up by 27 points.
It was yet another really painful game for the Warriors, who next face the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday.
The only good news for the Warriors was that Draymond Green was in attendance on Sunday, as the NBA lifted its suspension of the player on Saturday.
That means that Green will be back in the lineup in the next game, which could give Golden State a big boost.
They need a boost right now, or else they’ll likely be “punked” again.
