The NBA regular season continued, with the Warriors losing 86-89 to the Nuggets at home and missing out on a four-game winning streak. In this game, the Warriors' performance in the first half can be described as a very crotch, the team can not score on the offensive end, and can not limit the Nuggets' performance on the defensive end, which also led to the team in the first half at the most behind the Nuggets 24 points, in the field of passive. In the second half, although the Warriors' state has rebounded, it has leveled the score gap. But after the draw, the Warriors were not able to go further, while the Nuggets seized the opportunity at a critical moment, and the team played well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. In the end, the Nuggets beat the Warriors by 3 points on the road to win the game.
This game is a milestone night for Curry, who has shot five three-pointers in the whole game, more than 3,000 career three-pointers, the number one in the league, and the only player in the league's history to have more than 3,000 three-pointers. In addition, Curry hit another three-pointer in this game, and his number of consecutive three-point shots has reached 157 games, which also equals the personal record.
Although Curry set two records, his performance in this game was not very good, in the first quarter of the game, Curry did not score 0 of 2, and there were 4 mistakes, and in the second quarter, Curry only scored 3 points on 1 of 4 shots, and in the entire first half, Curry only scored 2 points on 6 shots, which also caused the Warriors to fall behind the Nuggets by a large score.
In the third quarter, Curry's form did not pick up, he scored 6 points on 1 of 3 shots in the single quarter, and there were two other mistakes. In the entire first three quarters, Curry only scored 8 points, and there were 6 turnovers, as the hot candidate for the MVP in the regular season this season, in the first three quarters to play such a performance, Curry's play is undoubtedly very crotch-pulling.
After entering the final quarter, Curry's form ushered in a recovery, he took over the Warriors' offense, single quarter game, he had 15 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 4-of-7 shooting, and at key moments, he hit consecutive three-pointers to help the team narrow the point gap. Sadly, Curry's 15 points in the final quarter came too late, and the Warriors eventually lost the game at home. On milestone nights, Curry led the team to lose, and the result was not ideal.
Curry needs to carry the pot in this game, because his performance in the first three quarters is indeed very sluggish, in Curry's career, he rarely only got 2 points at half-time, 8 points in the first three quarters, and also made 6 mistakes, and his crotch performance in the first three quarters also led to the Warriors falling behind the Nuggets by a large margin. Although curry ushered in a recovery in the final quarter, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, it was still too late.
In the author's opinion, Green's absence has a very big impact on Curry, the team lacks a player who can create shooting space for Curry, in the face of the Nuggets, Curry rarely has the opportunity to shoot easily, in the face of such a high-intensity defense, Curry performed in the first three quarters of the crotch, which is also very reasonable. For this Warriors team, Green is indispensable, and after his return, Curry's offense will be more fluid and there will be more shooting opportunities. In the end, I still hope that Green can return as soon as possible, and this Warriors team cannot be without him.
