On December 19, Beijing time, the Warriors lost to the Raptors 100-119 on the road, missing four consecutive wins. In this game, the Warriors' Curry, Wiggins, Iguodala, Poole and Green were all absent from the game, and only Lunin was left in the team's starting lineup, which was very incomplete. And the lineup is incomplete, the team in the face of the Raptors, they did not play well, the team's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is not ideal, and finally the Warriors lost to the Raptors on the road, no chance of their own winning streak.
In this game, the Raptors rookie Barnes performed well, he had a comprehensive stat of 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 8-of-12 shooting, and played steadily on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he became the hero of the team's victory in this battle. And VanVleet also ushered in the outbreak of this campaign, he got 27 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals of the luxurious data of the whole game, the presence on the offensive end is very strong, and he can also play a very good performance on the defensive end, and in terms of connecting the whole team, VanVleet also has a better play, he is the team's most brilliant player in this campaign, the Raptors can beat the Warriors at home in this campaign, his performance is very critical.
In addition to Barnes and VanVleet, Boucher, Trent, Achuva and Watanabe all had a very good performance in this game, scoring double digits, they gave a lot of help to the core players on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the Raptors also relied on their better team performance in this campaign, they beat the Warriors at home and won this game.
On the Warriors side, because many of the main players are absent, they can only let some young players play and let them get the opportunity to exercise. Although the Warriors eventually lost to the Raptors by a big score, the young players on the team performed very well.
Cuminga exploded, scoring 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting, setting a new career scoring record for 26 points in a single game. In this game, Cuminga showed his comprehensive offensive skills, whether it is an outside three-pointer, or a short jump shot, or a basket end, his efficiency is very high, this campaign he became the best player in the Warriors lineup, although the team lost, but Cuminga's performance is worthy of recognition. With the team's lineup incomplete, he seized the opportunity and played his best performance since entering the league, believing that with the performance of this game, Cuminga will get more playing time and ball rights in subsequent matches.
In the long NBA season, in fact, such a rotation is very necessary, although the team will lose the game, but let the core players get more rest time, so that they can play in the next game in better shape, which still helps the team to get better. And the Warriors did a good job in this regard, this campaign against the Raptors, they let the main rotation players take turns, while letting the young players get the opportunity to perform, although the game lost, but the team's purpose was achieved, I believe that after the adjustment of the Warriors, they will have a better performance in the next game.
