On January 30, Beijing time, the Nets lost 106-110 in the game against the Warriors. Due to the absence of Kevin Durant and James Harden, the Nets can only play against the Warriors under Kyrie Irving.
Throughout the game, Irving scored 32 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals on 9-of-21 shooting in 39 minutes, and Mills was also able to get 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 38 minutes.
Although the Nets eventually lost this game, considering that Durant and Harden were both absent from this game, it is still enough to see that the Nets still have a good competitive team.
However, in the final 1 minute and 44 seconds of the game, Nets forward Kessler Edwards was fouled in the case of Stephen Curry's obvious forward jump, and in the last 9 seconds of the game, Irving's foul on Thompson led to the former being sent off, and Curry and Thompson used these two fouls to score four points for the Warriors, in fact, Nets coach Steve Nash could use the challenge opportunity on both occasions.
After the game, Nash responded to his reasons for not using the challenge, as the referee told him Irving must have been fouled:
In fact, if Nash uses the challenge on both chances, the Nets still have a very good chance of winning the game.
Finally, the Nets' interior core Lamarcus Aldridge suffered a sprained left ankle injury against the Warriors, and according to the US media, Aldridge left the Chase Center on crutches after the game:
Aldridge has played 23.1 minutes per game for the Nets so far this season, and has 13.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, in addition to a 55.9% shooting percentage. Due to Aldridge's absence, players such as The Nets' frontcourt Clarkston and Griffin should be able to get a lot of playing time.
