On December 14, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors narrowly defeated the Indiana Pacers 102-100 on the road. In this game, Curry hit 5 three-pointers in a single game to score 26 points, just two points away from breaking Ray Allen's record. In the next game against the New York Knicks, Curry will most likely break the record at Madison Square Garden.
In fact, the Warriors didn't play well today, and the team's offensive feel is very average. Curry shot 5-of-15 from outside the three-point line, and his teammates made just 3-of-15 shots from outside the three-point line. The Pacers had a long lead over the Warriors. But in the final moments, Curry scored 5 points in a row, plus Looney scored 2 points to stage a "quasi-kill".
The Pacers failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and Turner, who started the battle, needed to "carry the pot". In this game, Turner hit only 1 goal in 10 shots, and all six shots from outside the three-point line were deflected. Looney's final-minute quasi-kill also came from his mistakes. While scrambling for rebounds in the backcourt, Turner didn't grab the rebound.
Turner only had six points, 10 rebounds and four blocks, which was a far cry from his season average of 13.1 points per game. Against the Warriors, Turner lost himself on the offensive end, and he didn't find his own shooting feel. This season, Turner has shot 40 percent from three-point range, his most commonly used means of scoring. Unfortunately, tonight's Turner feels cold!
After the Pacers gave the news that they were going to rebuild, Turner stood up for an interview. In the interview, Turner said: "I don't want to be a role player, I want to get a bigger stage to express myself. "There was news that the Warriors were interested in Turner and wanted to trade Turner with Wiseman + Looney.
But judging from the performance of this game, Turner's value on the pitch is not very large. He doesn't have Looney's cover quality and likes to float outside to shoot three-pointers. In this game, Looney shot 7-of-10 and had 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. During the trading period, the Warriors will most likely not pursue Turner.
