On January 2, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Warriors challenged the Jazz away. The game was extremely intense, and the Warriors quickly established a lead in the first half, but the Jazz successfully overtook the score in the third quarter with a wave of 15-4 offensive climax, and the two teams needed to fight until the last minute to decide the winner. At the crucial moment, Curry and Wiggins took turns firing, and the Warriors secured a lead. Curry ended up scoring 5 straight points to kill the game completely. In the end, the Warriors beat the Jazz 123-116 and continued to lead the league in terms of record.
Winning this game is a great encouragement to the warriors as a whole. The Jazz have previously won a five-game winning streak, with only a 1.5-game gap between the No. 3 in the West and the Warriors at the top of the table, and there is still a trend of catching up in the future. With the Warriors winning the Jazz today, the team once again stretched the gap to 2.5 wins. Even if the future two sides are tied, the Warriors can take the initiative with their fighting records, and such a game victory is of great significance to the Warriors.
To win this game, the Warriors' biggest contributors are Curry and Wiggins. The two of them stepped forward at key moments and scored points in quick succession to secure a lead for the team and reject a counterattack from their opponents. Curry hit 6 three-pointers in this game and had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and hit 158 consecutive three-pointers in his career, setting a new record in history, and continued to write his own myth in three-point statistics. Wiggins had 25 points and four assists, hit multiple three-pointers in key moments, and scored eight consecutive points to help the team win.
In the post-match interview, Curry also did not hesitate to praise wiggins, praising Wiggins' performance on the field. Curry said he shouldn't have discussed these things so early, but our No. 22 was so good that he should be in Cleveland (the all-Star venue this season) by virtue of his strength. This shows Curry's high affirmation of Wiggins. Over the past few days, Curry, Clay and Dream, as well as head coach Kerr, have been canvassing for Wiggins, hoping he will be selected as an All-Star for the first time.
Wiggins has averaged 19 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this season, shooting 2.3 three-pointers per game, shooting 43.4 percent from three-point range, and both three-pointers are personal highs. In the Warriors' tactical system, Wiggins gradually occupies an important position, which is an indispensable factor for the team to lead the league. Even if the team will welcome Klay's return in the future, Wiggins is still the team's unstoppable starter and an important part of the team's tactics.
Interestingly, Wiggins was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers that year. If he can be selected as an All-Star this year, it will be a return to the place where the dream began.
