On January 17, Beijing time, the Warriors lost 99-119 to the Timberwolves on the road, which is also the biggest point difference between the Warriors' recent losses. The Warriors' 20-point defeat to the Timberwolves was also an upset game, after all, the Warriors ranked second in the West and the Timberwolves in ninth place in the West.
Of course, Curry and Green's absence from the game has also made the Warriors face great difficulties at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the firepower at the offensive end has dropped significantly, and there have been many flaws in the operation of the team due to Green's absence. Watching this game, the most intuitive feeling is that Curry and Green are the real thighs of this Warriors team, and it is really difficult for the Warriors to play their own characteristics without Curry and Green.
In this game, Klay Thompson played 23 minutes, with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, shooting 14 shots and 5 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and did not get a free throw opportunity. Clay's performance after his comeback is not too optimistic, or in a recovery adaptation stage, after the comeback of the four games, Clay's score has not exceeded 20 points, which also makes Warriors fans more frustrated.
It seems that Clay still needs a while to adapt to the rhythm of the Warriors, after all, the impact of not standing on the court for a long time is also very critical for Clay. However, Clay's fighting strength is still very strong, and the picture of falling to the ground to fight is also touching many fans, and Clay still has a strong winning mentality.
In this game, the Warriors were blocked by the Timberwolves, whose defensive intensity was fierce, stealing the Warriors 8 times and blocking the Warriors 9 times, resulting in 15 mistakes for the Warriors. The Timberwolves were also far ahead in scoring in the penalty area, with the Timberwolves scoring 54 points in the penalty area and the Warriors scoring just 32 points in the box.
The Timberwolves' second score is also three times that of the Warriors, so the Warriors are not the timberwolves' opponents at all, and in the end, the Warriors can only accept a 20-point defeat without Curry and Green.
How long do you think it will take Clay to get back to scoring 20+?
