Clay hit a crucial three-pointer to successfully suppress the Cavaliers' momentum and then rested. The Warriors controlled the rhythm of the court and eventually defeated the Cavaliers 96-82, successfully refusing a three-game losing streak.
The Lakers shouldn't let him go
At 13 minutes in the last quarter, the Lakers should not let him go! Clay is back, and the 35-year-old veteran is on the verge of spoiling the game. The Cavaliers had a bit of a bad performance in this game, Garland only had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-12 shooting, plus-minus -22 for the team's bottom number one, and Stevens had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals on 8-of-11 shooting. However, the best performer was Rajan Rondo on the bench, who scored 13 points in the final quarter, 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and almost led the team to a reversal in the final quarter, disrupting Clay's comeback night.
Klay Thompson's first game of return, 7 of 18 shooting, 8 of 3 three-point shooting, 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, the first game in two years, absolutely amazing. Steven Curry had 28 points, five rebounds and five assists, Wiggins had only nine shots and 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and Poole had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. However, the unknown hero of this game is still the starting center Looney, who got 6 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block data, including 9 frontcourt rebounds, and the Cavaliers were only 8 on the whole team, which was really one person crushing a team.
