The NBA regular season continues, today's game Golden State Warriors away to challenge the Minnesota Timberwolves, this game warriors chased the dream Green, Curry and Peyton Jr. absent due to injury, and finally the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 99-109. After this campaign, the Warriors' record came to 31 wins and 12 losses, ranking second in the West, and the Timberwolves record came to 21 wins and 22 losses, ranking seventh in the Los Angeles Lakers and seventh in the West.
The warriors scored only 6 points in the last 5 minutes of the game, causing the situation to fall into passivity, the Timberwolves side exploded a wave of 18-6 offensive attack to gain the upper hand, the second quarter warriors struggled to chase points but could not narrow the point difference, the Timberwolves side with Downs half-time 13+7 data as the lead to hold a 6-point advantage into the second half. The third quarter began with the Warriors cutting 14 points in a row in 3 minutes to turn the tide, but after that they failed to hold the position, the Timberwolves side in addition to The Downs stable output, Beasley at the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter of the 5 three-pointer, the Timberwolves inside and outside the blossoming cross-section blasted a wave of 41-7 offensive climax, the point difference was widened to more than 20 points and completely lost suspense. In the end, the Timberwolves won at home to the Warriors to end a 2-game losing streak.
On the Warriors side, Poole alone scored 20 points, Thompson had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Wiggins had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Porter had 12 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and Cumminga had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.
Due to the absence of the dream, the already weak Warriors on the inside line are nothing less than worse, Towns only took less than 30 minutes, 11 of 20, 26 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, 9 of 10 in the basket, the Warriors turned the inside line upside down, the interior scored 54-32, and the Warriors lost 22 points. With a defensive efficiency of 104.6 in the last 7 games, the Warriors are fourth in the league (season average 102.3 league first), and the gap is not large. The offensive efficiency is the second-to-last in the league (positive 29) and the season average is 110.3 in the league tenth. This shows a big problem, the Warriors did not lose the team because of the decline in defense, but the weakness on the offensive end caused the team to lose 5 of the last 7 games.
The Warriors are currently second in the West with 31 wins and 12 losses, just two wins away from the Jazz, and the Warriors need to do more if they want to retain the second place in the West. Today's game, Curry is not there, the team can be said to have no chemistry at all. Although Poole worked very hard to connect the team, his relative holding time was too long to cause his teammates to digest less room, and Clay made 14 shots and made more strong shots, which was not really a valid opportunity, and some dragged down the team's current rhythm.
As a player who has been away from the game for more than two years, Thompson needs more time to get back into his personal form. Thompson says he wants to get back to his best in the playoffs, just be patient now and then do his best when he's allowed to play. I believe that after Clay regained his form, the Warriors at that time were the most complete Warriors.
