On January 24, Beijing time, the Warriors won 94-92 against the Jazz, and after this game, the Warriors have been able to have a record of 34 wins and 13 losses so far this season.
In the whole game, Stephen Curry played only 13 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds on 5-of-20 shooting in 35 minutes, in addition to Jordan Poole's team-high 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 7-of-13 shooting, and he could have 9-of-4 outside the three-point line.
In the case that the Warriors' starting lineup can get double-double data, even if Curry can't perform well enough, the Warriors can still beat the Jazz. Kevin Looney, who is in the starting lineup and serves as the starting center, can efficiently get 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-5 shooting in the 28 minutes, in addition to +10 plus-minus data performance.
Looney was undoubtedly the key to the Warriors' victory in this game, because in the final moments of the game, Looney helped the Warriors take a key offensive rebound and hit a 2+1, which also gave the Warriors a 94-89 lead over the Jazz with 1:48 left in the game. You know, Kevin Looney can also have a very good defensive performance in this game.
In the past three games, Looney has made 31 points, 33 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals on 14 shots, 12 of the past three games, coupled with only 101 defensive efficiencies so far this season, which is enough to show that Looney has indeed been able to bring a steady offensive and defensive contribution to the Warriors so far this season.
With Draymond Green injured, the Warriors do need Looney to help the team on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and to be honest, if Looney can continue to be healthy and in this state, he really should continue to play an important role in this Warriors' team, and even if the Warriors can't push for the trade of center players before this year's trade deadline, Looney should be enough to help this Warriors in the playoffs.
