The Warriors are still the best team in the league with 30 wins and 9 losses, and Thompson has officially returned to the game after 941 days, shooting 7 of 18 in the first 20 minutes, 3 of 3 of 3 three-pointers, 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, shooting, three-pointers, blocking and blocking; with Clay's return, the Warriors have become stronger.
The Jazz fell from second to fifth, last week 4 wins, 2 wins and 2 losses, 2 consecutive losses are still in third place in the West, but their position in the West is unstable; the Grizzlies have become the biggest dark horse in the West, 9 consecutive wins after 28 wins and 14 losses in the West, only 1 win behind the Jazz, which is also the biggest reason why the Grizzlies have soared from eighth to second, and Grizzlies star Morant has won the Western Conference's best for two consecutive weeks.
Last week, the Nets had a poor 2-2 record, especially after the fiasco against the Bucks, the Nets did not taste a win against the top four teams in the East and West, 0-8 losses are too heart-wrenching; Irving has returned, the debut performance is outstanding, but Irving can only play away; the last overtime beat the Spurs, the Nets ended the heart of the home 5 consecutive losses.
The Lakers are still in 17th place, James once led the team to get 4 consecutive wins, helpless to lose to the Grizzlies in the last game; 37-year-old James bombed 30+ and still regrettably lost; the Lakers are currently 21 wins and 20 losses in the West, 0.5 wins behind the Nuggets, and the Lakers' ranking has been near the middle and lower reaches this season.
