The NBA regular season continued, the West ushered in a strong and weak dialogue, and the Warriors traveled to challenge the Thunder on the road.
Perhaps because of the recent consecutive wins, the Warriors started extremely slowly, and the team could not find a feel on the offensive end, and only scored 20 points in the first quarter of the game.
On the other hand, the Thunder team, although the team also lacks a stable scorer on the offensive end, the young team is full of impact, successfully establishing a four-point lead in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Warriors' state picked up obviously, especially after the young players came on the stage, the Warriors' scrambling and vitality on the offensive end were obviously improved, especially Kuminga, a new star, who successively completed the self-throwing and self-snatching good play on the inside line.
On the other hand, the Thunder are still inefficient on the offensive end, which allows the Warriors not only to catch up with the score in a single quarter, but also to establish a double-digit lead at the end of the half.
Easy to fight again, the state of the two teams did not have too much ups and downs, the score has been maintained in double digits, the Warriors have no intention of closing the game, and the overall play lacks continuity and competitiveness.
The Warriors' laid-back attitude gave the Thunder a number of young players a chance, and they rebounded in the final quarter.
Especially in the case of the Warriors once in a scoring drought, the Thunder quickly played an offensive climax on the offensive end, grabbing rebounds in the front court in succession, reducing the point difference to only 5 points in one go.
Helplessly, the key moment began to expose the gap between the two teams, the Warriors with superstars, with Clay hit two key three-pointers in a row, directly extinguished the momentum of the Thunder's counterattack, and finally the Warriors defeated the Thunder 110-98, won a wave of 9 consecutive wins, and continued to catch up with the first sun of the league in front of them.
Throughout the game, although the Thunder lost, as a young team, they have shown a good competitiveness.
Especially in terms of team resilience and fighting spirit, it is worthy of more praise, and the Thunder's performance sets off the strength of the current Warriors team.
In the case of not doing their best in the whole field, the Warriors can be described as free to retract, and there are 4 major gains in the whole field, of which Clay shouts too domineering.
The first big gain is naturally clay who opens low and goes high, and in the case of slow heat at the beginning, Clay plays better and better.
Played 29 minutes in the whole game, 6 of 15 shots, handed over 21 points, 2 boards, 2 assists and 2 breaks, and even more in a key moment, two three-pointers in a row directly killed the game.
On the second three-pointer, Clay shouted "This is my house" on the road! It is worth mentioning that in this game Clay just celebrated his 32nd birthday, such a performance is undoubtedly the best birthday gift.
The second big takeaway was that Poole gradually adapted to the sixth-man role, and at the beginning of Clay's return, Poole, who gave up the starting position, fell badly.
But after a period of adjustment, poole is currently expected to attack the best sixth person, and in this game, Poole handed over 11 points, 8 boards, 8 assists and 2 all-round data, with a plus-minus of +17 the highest in the game.
The third biggest gain was the rising star Cuminga, who continued the fiery state of the past period, handing over 16 points, 4 boards, 4 assists and 1 block.
Compared with the good data, Cuminga's vitality in the game is exactly what the Warriors' second team needs the most, and his plus-minus of +12 is also ranked third in the game.
Next, as long as he develops a stable three-point shooting and increases the stability of the free throw, his future will be unlimited.
The final big gain is that Curry and Wiggins are as stable as Tarzan, as the basic guarantee of the Warriors' combat effectiveness, and the two are in an efficient and stable state.
Curry played 36 minutes, shooting 6 of 12, 4 of 10 from three-point range, 2 of 2 from the free throw line, and efficiently cut 18 points, 9 boards and 10 assists.
Wiggins had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.
