The Warriors faced the Pistons in the first quarter to take a double-digit lead, the point difference behind them is getting bigger and bigger, and the halftime is accompanied by the storm of splash brother Curry and Tang Shen, the Warriors directly hit the Pistons, and the difference between the two sides reached 28 points. Klay Thompson's final goal of the first half was a 1.3-second whistle-kick that blew the pitch. And just 30 seconds ago, also from the Warriors, Curry just shot a super 10 meters three-pointer, the Warriors double star shine completely threatening.
These two difficult goals were the epitome of the Splash Brothers' performance in the first half, with Curry directly shooting 4 of 6 from the field, scoring 14 points, 7 assists and 2 steals. Klay Thompson was even more explosive, soaring 17 points at halftime, shooting 5-of-9, shooting 3-of-6 from outside the three-point line, and two people shooting seven three-pointers in the first half.
With 31 points and seven three-pointers at halftime, this is the Golden State Warriors that everyone is most familiar with, and the most familiar Splash Brothers, which is the strongest game since they came back together. At that time, the Warriors were 10 of 21 three-pointers, and 7 of them came from both of them, which is not the style of play that the Warriors have always had?
The big explosion of the two made the whole second half full of garbage time, the two of them shot so accurately, and the feel was so good, the Pistons could not win. All they had to do was narrow down some of the scores when the Warriors went to the bench in advance to train, and sure enough, in the garbage time from the second half of the 3rd quarter to the 4th quarter, the Warriors gave Kuminga, Moody, and other super geniuses, including Jordan Poole and others, a lot of exercise opportunities.
In the 4th quarter, Curry did not go up at all, and Tang Shen came up to look for the status, and the score exceeded 20 and went down. The historic moment came when there was 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the 4th quarter, When Cuminga stepped back to shoot a three-point shot to complete his first double-double since his rookie season, he laughed and was very happy, and he got a double-double for the Warriors' third start, when Cuminga cut 12 minutes and 10 rebounds on 4-of-10 shooting.
This ball Warriors directly let the three major players all usher in a key milestone, Cuminga for the first time two double-doubles, the first time 5 consecutive games to score double-figures, Curry 9 consecutive games shooting rate of less than 50%, finally broke this spell, Thompson the first time 20+, the Warriors this ball can be said to be a big victory. After this victory, the Warriors narrowed the gap between them and the Suns and continued to be in second place in the league, while the Warriors' home record reached 19 wins and 3 losses in the league.
