“Epic butt whooping”: Stephen A. Smith lambasts Golden State Warriors performance in thumping defeat vs Boston Celtics

NBA broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has lambasted the Golden State Warriors for their performance in the match against the Boston Celtics.

The Warriors had a horrible night in the match against the Celtics as they were thrashed with a score of 140-88 at the TD Garden in Boston.

During the match, the Celtics started strongly and took a lead of 44 points in the first two quarters, something that did not go down well with Smith who lambasted the Warriors' overall performance and called it a ‘butt whopping’.

"This is an epic butt whooping,” he said. “This is so bad Kendrick Perkins needs to take off that suit. This is so bad that Bob Myers, who gonna be calling the Warriors game this Wednesday... shouldn't even go back.

"The Golden State Warriors were nearly down by 50 at halftime... None of us saw this coming. We want to apologize to the American people."

The result left the Warriors in the ninth position in the Western Conference with 32 wins and 28 defeats. On the night, the star performer for the winning team was the shooting guard Jaylen Brown who registered 29 points to go with three rebounds and three assists.
