The Warriors today won 110-98 with the Thunder on the road. After today's game, the Warriors have won nine straight, the longest winning streak in the league so far, and one more win will bring the Warriors to their first 10-game winning streak of the season.
In today's game, Curry played 36 minutes, shooting 6-of-12, including 4-of-10 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, and only one rebound left to get a triple-double.
Thompson also did well today, starting 29 minutes, shooting 6-of-15, 3-of-8 from three-point range, and 6-of-6 from the free throw line for 21 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
It is worth mentioning that in the past 6 games, Thompson has been in excellent shape, averaging 18.7 points per game, averaging 7.8 three-pointers per game, and shooting 44.7% from three-point range. So far this season, Thompson has played in 12 games and averaged 16.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3 assists in 24 minutes of playing time per game.
After hitting three three-pointers today, Thompson also overtook Billups and tied for George to tie for eighteenth on the all-time three-point list. George is currently in injury time and will be left behind by Thompson.
It's also not easy for the Warriors to achieve nine consecutive wins because Green has been out for a month. In the first half of Green's absence, the Warriors' record was very difficult, with only 3 wins and 6 losses in 9 consecutive games, so they were also pulled apart by the Suns.
At the same time, Curry's performance for some time is also very average, after entering 2022, Curry averages only 22 points per game, shooting less than 40% from the field and only 34% from three-point range. During the nine-game winning streak, Curry was also mediocre on the offensive end, but fortunately, Thompson, Wiggins and Poole were all very good, averaging more than 17 points per game, so the Warriors managed to win 9 consecutive games.
After nine consecutive wins, the Warriors' record has reached 41 wins and 13 losses, although it is still second in the West, but it is only 2.5 wins behind the Suns, and there is still hope to take back the first place in the West from the Suns. It's just that Curry's performance is not very prominent, and even if the Warriors can get the first place in the West, the probability of Curry becoming an MVP is not large.
