On February 8, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In today's Western Conference Focus game, the Warriors traveled to the road to challenge the Thunder. Before this game, the Warriors had won eight straight, and against the Thunder, who were no.2 in the West, the Warriors were bound to win.
However, in the first quarter, the Warriors quickly fell into passivity, and they were at one point behind the Thunder 12:20. As the Warriors' star, Curry did not shoot much in the first quarter, and he hit the first three-pointer of the game near the bottom corner of the right side, refreshing his consecutive three-point shooting to 174 games. Throughout the first quarter, Curry had 5 points and 1 rebound, and the Warriors made a lot of efforts later in the quarter to narrow the point difference to 20:23!
In the second quarter, Curry still didn't shoot much, shooting only two shots and one shot in a single quarter (all three-pointers) to score 3 points and give 3 assists. But the Warriors played well overall, finishing 66-56 after halftime.
Curry remained obsessed with three-point shots in the 3rd quarter, hitting his third three-pointer of the day at the top of the arc and the only one in the quarter. However, Curry's performance in the third quarter was very comprehensive, with 5 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the single quarter. After three quarters, Curry has 13 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and he is very promising of a triple-double.
In the final showdown, Curry quickly made a basket and picked up two rebounds, leaving only 2 rebounds and 2 assists left from the triple-double. Curry was then replaced until the final moments of the game, he assisted Thompson to hit the key three-pointer, and then Curry grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and hit a long-range three-pointer, and the game lost suspense.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 110:98 and won nine consecutive games, making the record 41-13 and continuing to follow the Suns in second place in the West. Curry played 36 minutes today, shooting 6-of-12, including 4-of-10 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, totaling 18 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, just one rebound away from the 10th career triple-double!
According to the schedule, the Warriors will challenge the Jazz on the road on February 10, and they will strive to win 10 consecutive games.
