On January 12, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Conference Focus game, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies 108-116 on the road. In three encounters with opponents this season, the Warriors won 1 and lost 2, and after losing today, the Warriors fell to no. 2 in the West again.
The Warriors' loss today is generally directly related to the performance of home star Curry. Although Curry had 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists today, he only shot 8 of 21 from the field and 2 of 9 from three-point range, while making as many as three turnovers. In the showdown with Morant, Curry was left behind. Morant had 29 points, five rebounds and eight assists today and scored five points in the final minute.
What's even more distressing for Curry is that since the game of victory over the Grizzlies on December 24 last year, Curry has shot less than 50% in seven consecutive games, which is extremely rare in Curry's career. Especially for three-pointers, Curry has almost completely lost his crosshairs recently. In the last 7 games, Curry's three-point performance is: 5 of 16, 5 of 14, 6 of 12, 1 of 10, 1 of 9, 4 of 11 and 2 of 9 today, a total of only 24 of 81, and only 8 of 39 in the last 4 games!
It has to be said that Curry has recently suffered a low point this season. Curry has fallen to No. 5 on the NBA's official MVP list released last week, trailing Alphabet Brother, Durant, Jokic and Embiid, curry's lowest ranking in the official MVP list this season.
According to the schedule, the Warriors will play the Bucks on the road on Jan. 14. It's another tough fight for Curry and the Warriors, but they have to adjust as soon as possible.
