On January 14, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a focus game today, the Warriors, no. 2 in the West, traveled to challenge defending champion Bucks on the road. The supposedly anxious game lost suspense from the start, with the Bucks leading by 16 points in the first quarter before extending their lead and the Warriors were powerless to fight back. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Bucks 99-118 on the road.
There is no doubt that for the Warriors, this very painful loss, they set a number of shameful records, specifically:
1. The Warriors trailed by 39 points at halftime, the worst performance in Warriors history since moving to the Bay Area in 1962.
2. The Warriors trailed by up to 39 points, which is the Warriors' biggest point behind this season.
3. Bucks Alphabet Brother and Portis scored 40 points in the first half, surpassing the Warriors' all-team score (38 points).
In the course of this game, due to the Warriors' rare big score behind, the Warriors were wildly discussed by fans, and they were rushed to the first place in the Twitter hot search. Considering that the Warriors have been showing a strong trend this season, losing the hot search, it is too rare for them.
As the star of the team, Curry played average today, only 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 4-of-11 shooting, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus-minus of -25, when the camera gave him, he has been very unwilling, and it can be seen that the loss of this game hit him very hard. According to statistics, in 22 games in which Curry's single-game shooting rate exceeded 40 percent this season, the Warriors won all of them, while in the 16 games in which Curry hit less than 40 percent, the Warriors only had 7 wins and 9 losses.
After the loss, the Warriors' record became 30-11, a 1.5-win gap from the No. 1 Suns. The Warriors will also take on the Bulls tomorrow, who are currently no. 1 in the East, another tough test for the Warriors. If they can't adjust their form, they will suffer their first three-game losing streak of the season!
