On February 2, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In a game of Western Focus that just ended, the Warriors beat the Spurs 124:120 on the road to achieve seven consecutive wins, and the record became 39-13, continuing to rank second in the West.
It was very difficult for the Warriors to win today. In today's game, Green continued to take a truce due to injury, Curry and Thompson were suspended, so the Warriors sent a starting lineup today: Poole, Damian Lee, Looney, Anderson, Moody.
How "chilling" is this lineup? It should be noted that the warriors' highest-paid player in this lineup is Looney (5.18 million), followed by rookie Moody (3.56 million), Poole (2.16 million), Damien Lee (1.91 million), and Anderson (1.7 million). In other words, the warriors' starting five people are paid a total of $14.51 million, or even less than $15 million. But even so, the Warriors still beat the Spurs on the road.
Because of this, after the Warriors won today, Curry, who did not play, showed a very bright smile.
After Poole hit the crucial three-pointer, Curry celebrated his teammates' outstanding performances. In Curry's absence, Poole completed the task well, and today Poole had a comprehensive performance of 31 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Curry's brother-in-law Damian Lee also scored 21 points and hit 5 three-pointers.
What makes Curry the most happy is undoubtedly the performance of the two rookies, Mudd today has 20 points and 7 rebounds on 6-of-12 shooting, and Cuminga has 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, including 14 points in the final quarter. Without the duo's performance, the Warriors would have had a hard time winning, let alone a 17-point comeback.
According to the schedule, the Warriors will play the Kings at home on Feb. 4, and they will strive for an eight-game winning streak.
