On January 21, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Warriors lost to the Pacers in overtime 117-121. In the game, the Pacers fought back-to-back, and the flight was delayed by four hours by heavy fog, and Brogdon, LeVert, Sa, and Turner all rested. Facing the pacers who attacked from the remnants, the Warriors lost at home and performed somewhat disappointingly.
In this battle, Curry can be described as a single tree. He played 43 minutes and 57 seconds, shooting 12-of-27, 6-of-16 from three-point range, 9-of-9 from the free throw line, and 39 points, five rebounds and eight assists. In the fourth quarter, Curry scored 14 points in a single quarter, but still could not prevent the game from going into overtime. In extra time, Curry scored no points on 0-of-4 shooting.
With the exception of Curry, the Warriors' other star players played in general. Thompson scored just 12 points and Wiggins scored just 11. Considering that Thompson has just returned from injury, the ups and downs are understandable. Wiggins' poor play was a bit disappointing.
In this game, Wiggins played 38 minutes, shooting 5 of 15 from the field, 1 of 6 from three-point range, 0 of 1 from the free throw line, contributing 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. In regular time, Wiggins made just 3 of 12 shots and scored only 6 points. If he could take a few chances in the fourth quarter, the Warriors could have easily closed the game.
This season, Wiggins has played in 40 games for the Warriors, averaging 18.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks, shooting 49.1% from the field and 42.3% from three-point range. Judging from the data, Wiggins has been quite efficient in the Warriors, and he has also won the general pursuit of Warriors fans. Wiggins is ranked 3rd in the Western Conference frontcourt in the All-Star voting campaign and is likely to be among the Western Conference All-Star starters.
However, Wiggins's on-court performance is not as perfect as the data reflects. Wiggins's biggest problem was his lack of aggressiveness and his state fluctuated greatly. The All-Star vote looks at fan popularity, and at this point, Wiggins is really great. But from the perspective of the hard power of the game, he is still far from the top stars.
