Today, the NBA regular season continues, with the Golden State Warriors welcoming the Utah Jazz at home.
The Jazz have been in poor form lately, winning fewer and losing more, mainly because injuries have found them again. As the team's offensive core, Mitchell is trapped by injuries and has missed several games in a row, and the Jazz lack offensive firepower, which is naturally difficult to compete with the Warriors. But the problem is that the Warriors are also in a low ebb, and it is not easy to win games.
Thompson has not been very good in a few games since he returned from injury, and today he chose a truce. As a result, Curry has no best helper, and the Warriors' interior pillar Drummond Green is also trapped by injuries and has been absent for consecutive games.
The two residual teams are destined to not look very good, and the Warriors' performance is even worse. Despite a narrow win of 94-92, the Warriors briefly led by double digits, and were hit by the Jazz in the final quarter with an 11-0 attack wave and suffered a reversal.
At key moments, Wiggins scored consecutive points to help the Warriors regain the lead. Curry shot just 5-of-20 in the game, which was obviously not in good shape, so the Warriors maintained the lead in front of them, relying on Jordan Poole's play.
Throughout the game, Poole, who returned to the starting lineup, scored 20 points and shot 4-of-9 from beyond the three-point line. In fact, Poole was the Warriors' starting scorer until Thompson's comeback this season, only recently giving up the starting spot.
Through his unremitting efforts and the Warriors' tactical combination, Poole has become the main offensive output point of this team, and he is also a good player in the whole league. The warriors' journey will still be more difficult, depending on whether Pooler can continue to give strength.
