The Golden State Warriors welcomed the Charlotte Hornets to Chase Center Tuesday night, a contest that was already expected to be one-sided before Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was ruled out earlier in the day.

The Warriors opted to break up the famous duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and traded Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in July. That decision hasn't led to success, as Golden State is 28-27 and the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Curry's shooting numbers are down, and Jimmy Butler is still adjusting.

With Stephen Curry's 20-point performance, he became the first Golden State Warriors player ever to reach 700 career games with 20 or more points.
