Beijing time on February 8 NBA regular season continued, Golden State Warriors away to Oklama Thunder, for the current Warriors, in January they experienced 7 consecutive home sweet schedule, before playing the Thunder, they have been resting for 4 days. The advantages in the schedule also allowed Clay to run into the team. Before the start of this game, they had already won a wave of eight consecutive wins, and the Warriors aimed to win 9 consecutive games against the Thunder who were absent from the main player!
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors Wiggins Thompson tried three points on the outside line but unfortunately did not hit, the Thunder took advantage of the Warriors' weak inside line, Gidee Terry Mandort scored consecutive layups, the Thunder played a 10:4 start, the Warriors were dumb in the first quarter, only 2 of the first 12 three-point shots were made, and when there were only 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the Thunder led the Warriors by 8 points at 20:12, and Kerr quickly called a timeout.
Pause back Cole replaced the recently played rookie Cuminga to impact the inside line, and this substitution also became a turning point in the game, Cuminga rushed to the basket to score 2+1 as soon as he came up, turned around and took off from the basket to dunk, and in the last moment of the first quarter, with the play of Cuminga and Wiggins, the Warriors chased the score to 20:23.
In the second quarter, Kerr continued to let Cuminga on the floor, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors no longer insisted on shooting on the outside, Cuminga and Poole continued to impact the inside dunk, and the second quarter began with Kuminga scoring 6 points, and the two teams played 28 draws. As the Warriors' inner line continued to score, the Thunder were forced to shrink the inside line, and the Thunder contracted, and the Warriors found their touch on the outside line. With Curry, Damian Lee, Iguodala, Wiggins, and Pu'er hit five consecutive three-pointers, and the Warriors surpassed the Thunder by 10 points at 47:37! The Warriors ended the second quarter with a 56-46 lead over the Thunder.
At the beginning of the second half, Tang Shen finally found his touch, and he scored 5 points in a row, turned around and showed his pass, straight to Porter's basket and then scored, 63:49! The Thunder were forced to call a timeout.
Timeout back Thunder offense picked up, Dolt inside the strong attack Rooney scored, and then Treman pressed the whistle three points to score, but Curry immediately gave a three-point response, the second half of the third quarter two teams scored you and me, no one can limit who, the third quarter of the warriors to lead the Thunder 85:72.
In the final quarter, Kerr arranged Moody and Cuminga on the court at the same time, and the two also repaid Kerr with a brilliant performance, Klay did not hit Cuminga's three-point dunk, and turned back to Cuminga to assist Moody's three-point surge, 90:76! The Warriors continued to maintain a 14-point lead, and in the final moments, Dortejidi joined forces to attack, and the point difference was once chased to 96:101, and the key moment was Klay who stepped forward! Two three-pointers were hit on the outside, and with 1 minute left in the game, the point difference returned to the 9-point difference (107:98), and in the final moments, Curry added fuel to the fire and hit a super far three-pointer to kill the game directly. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 110:98, and the Warriors' 9-game winning streak continued!
30 assists! In this game, the Warriors once again showed what team basketball is. In this game, 12 Warriors played, 11 people all scored, and Anderson, the only one who did not score, did not shoot for 6 seconds. Curry only made 12 shots in this game and got 18 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, once again explaining the selflessness of the leader.
And when the Thunder chased the score to only 5 points in the fourth quarter, it was Klay who scored two three-pointers to stabilize the situation, and finally Curry hit a hit, and the Splash Brothers once again recreated the performance of the 16-year playoffs against the Thunder. The law of "look at Curry in good times, clay in bad times, and brother in desperate circumstances" is revealed again. Clay, who shot 1 of 5 in the first half of the game, scored 17 points in the second half and scored 21 points.
In addition to the Splash Brothers, the Warriors' other players performed remarkablely, in the first quarter behind, it was The play of Cuminga and Wiggins that allowed the Warriors to equalize and surpass the score in the second quarter, kuminga had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 6-of-11 shooting, and the game repeatedly hit the inside line to get the team's highest 7 free throws, if the three points were on time, it would be the Warriors' next Iguodala.
In addition to Cuminga, although Moody only got 5 minutes of playing time in this game, he contributed a three-pointer and a dunk in 5 minutes, and with Moody's 5 points, the Warriors once led to 14 points in the fourth quarter. The Warriors' two rookies this year really did not wait in vain, it can be said that they have already played out, and a little honing of the playoffs can play a greater role.
In addition to the two rookies, Poole's play is also amazing, only 8 shots in this game to score 11 points, although the score is not high, but it grabbed 8 rebounds and sent 8 assists, in the field plus or minus +17 the first in the team! Poole scored well in the starting position at the beginning of the season, but with Clay's return, Poole had to return to the bench, and after a brief period of adjustment, he regained his form. Today's Warriors starting bench lineup is becoming more and more balanced. If Dream and Wiseman return from injury, the Warriors really don't need to make another trade this season. With the existing lineup already has the strength to impact the championship.
