Beijing time on January 17, 2017! The NBA regular season Timberwolves played at home against the Warriors, and the core curry of the Warriors in this game has returned home due to injury and received additional treatment for the right hand injury; and the team today also officially announced Green's injury, which will be absent for at least 2 weeks due to a sore left calf injury. In addition, Green is still undergoing an MRI for a lumbar injury, and preliminary reports suggest that a lumbar disc injury is associated with sore left calf. The Warriors, who lacked a core, eventually lost to the Timberwolves 96-119.
Although the team recently ushered in Thompson's comeback, but the team still has very strict requirements for Thompson's time, This game Thompson only played 23 minutes, although he got 13 points and 4 rebounds, but only 14 shots 5, of which only 8 of 3 of three points.
In the absence of the core, the Warriors' recent record has also suffered problems, and in today's game, the Warriors have only won 2 of the last 7 games, the Bulls and cavaliers. Losing to the Timberwolves, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Lone Rangers and fiasco to the Bucks, Core Curry's form is also relatively low.
After losing this game, the Warriors' record has temporarily reached 31 wins and 12 losses, although it continues to be stable in the second place in the West, but the gap between them and the first Sun has become wider and wider. After winning today, the Suns have recently won a three-game winning streak.
However, for the Warriors, keeping all the staff healthy and helping Thompson get back to form is the most important thing, the team's return to the playoffs this season is already a high probability, and how to complete the breakthrough in the playoffs is the most important.
