Beijing time on January 17, 2022, the NBA regular season continued, the Warriors challenged the Minnesota Timberwolves away from home, and drummond Green and Curry on this side of the Warriors were absent due to injury, which also made the Warriors' roster in this game very deformed, and the team could only rely on Wiggins and Klay Thompson to support the team! At the beginning of the game, they did not show the state of a strong team at all, the first quarter of the game was scored by the opponent 30 points, they only scored 22 points, although in the second quarter of the game they were able to maintain a stalemate with the opponent, but there was no way to completely close the score.
In the third quarter of the game, the Timberwolves once again played a very good form, Downs cut down 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist in the single quarter, the dominant stats helped the Timberwolves to score 35 points in a single quarter, once again to open the point difference, before entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves have stretched the point difference to a gap of 10 points! In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves completely opened the gap, the Warriors could not find offensive status in the single quarter, and finally the Warriors lost 99:119 to the opponent!
Wiggins on the Warriors side scored 12 points, Poole scored 20 points, and Klay Thompson was in a slump, shooting 5-of-14 from the field and having 13 points and 4 rebounds! The Timberwolves' side Towns played an efficient offense, shooting 11-of-20 from the field and scoring 26 points and 11 rebounds, Russell contributing 7 points and 12 assists, Edwards scoring 9 points and Beasley 16 points!
The Warriors' side of this game lacks the two cores of the Warriors and Green, the overall state has indeed been greatly affected, Klay Thompson has not yet found the state, and Wiggins, who has been playing the Timberwolves before, has been buff this game is also abnormal, appearing in 29 minutes, shooting 4 of 11 shots, the efficiency is not high, the score is only 12 points, and it does show a very struggling state!
It can be said that the Warriors are currently experiencing the most difficult period, Klay is still integrating into the team, Curry and Green have also suffered from injuries, although Curry may return soon, but Green may rest for a while, which will still have a great impact on the Warriors!
