The Golden State Warriors suffered a heartbreaking 141-127 loss to the Toronto Raptors in overtime on Sunday and despite strong second and third quarters, it just wasn't enough to outlast a strong Toronto team.
The Warriors scored just five points in overtime to seal their defeat and throughout the game it became apparent that the Warriors didn't have the organization required to stand up against the onslaught of offense that the Raptors unleashed.
Turnovers were especially a problem for the Warriors. Golden State turned the ball over 22 times to Toronto's 19 and as a result the Raptors were able to convert 35 points from the times they got the ball back.

Nick Turchiaro-Imagn ImagesGolden State head coach Steve Kerr was quick to take accountability for the loss and the factors that contributed to Golden State's disappointing performance.
"End of the third and end of the fourth we got scattered. I've got to get us better organized during those stretches. That's on me," Kerr said (via NBC Sports Bay Area & California). "They turned up the pressure. We didn't handle it well and they scored 35 points off our turnovers. That was the game."
The loss was a major momentum killer for a Golden State team that was finally getting something going as the midpoint of the season draws close. The Warriors had won their last three games going into Sunday and would have liked to keep that streak going.
However, the Raptors' steady stream of scoring, even after they fell behind the Warriors in the third, proved to be too much to overcome as the Warriors fell apart organizationally and their style of play broke down.
"It sucks," Kerr said. "We're on a little bit of a run. Got a chance to get some momentum, we controlled the whole game and we let it slip."
Despite the loss, Draymond Green had a stellar game, a welcome sight for Warriors fans after Green had scored in the single digits in four of his last five games going into Sunday. Green scored a season-high 21 points, second-most on the team behind Steph Curry's massive 38 point performance, while shooting 8-14 from the field and draining four three pointers.
Strong performances from Green, Curry and Jimmy Butler III weren't enough though and Kerr was again quick to hold himself responsible for the decisions and lack of leadership he felt he exhibited that led to the loss.
"Draymond was great tonight. Played his tail off. Great energy. Great defense. So, he did everything he could to help us win. Like I said, I feel like I let us down tonight."
