The Jazz take on the Warriors
The story of the Golden State Warriors continues, Stephen Curry welcomes back Klay Thompson, the Splash Brothers are once again united, after a short run-in, immediately playing a wave of 9 consecutive wins, and, without chasing the dream Green. Although Curry's state has declined during this time, and Klay has not returned to his original bravery, the Warriors still have a group of elite players, and Wiggins and Poole can always help the team. This game, the Warriors have to face the fourth-place Utah Jazz in the West.
The Jazz spent a brief low, ending a five-game losing streak and immediately playing a three-game winning streak that temporarily stabilized the fourth place in the West. However, in this game, Gobert is still absent, and Ingles is also reimbursed for the season, in this case, the team can only rely on Donovan Mitchell. On the Warriors' side, Klay Thompson will not play.
The Warriors suffered a crushing reversal
Without Klay Thompson, the Warriors made a fantastic start, and with Steven Curry scoring no point, Poole led the team to a 13-0 start, and Conley assisted Azubuk's dunk to break the scoring drought for the team. After the opening slump, the Jazz found a three-pointer, hitting consecutive three-point shots and narrowing the point gap. After O'Neal Jr. hit his second three-pointer, the Jazz came back one point 21-20. Cumminga immediately responded with three-pointers, and the two teams began a three-point-to-head pattern.
The Jazz hit five three-pointers in the first quarter, while the Warriors soared six, giving them a 31-30 lead over the Jazz at the end of the first quarter. After returning from the second quarter, the two teams led in a staggered lead, and Curry finally opened outside the three-point line, but Bogdanovic scored six consecutive points to help the Jazz take a seven-point lead. Poole's hand fell from outside the three-point line, but Bogdanovic was able to score from mid-range, Wiggins also hit a three-pointer, and Mitchell immediately responded with a three-pointer.
After Clarkson hit a three-pointer, the Jazz's lead came to nine points, Curry's three-point quick shot from the corner, Wiggins also had a quick stop from mid-range, Whiteside scored four consecutive points in the box, and Curry pressed the whistle to throw. At the end of the half, the Golden State Warriors trailed the Utah Jazz by six points 49-55.
The library center is online again
The Golden State Warriors went from leading by 13 points at one point to trailing by five points at the end of halftime, and being chased back by the Jazz for 18 points, which was really regrettable. Stephen Curry's performance in the first half can only be said to be decent, 4 of 10 shots, 6 of 2 three-pointers, 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, but the rebounds were the highest in the team, once again confirming the identity of Curry's center. Poole was the team's best player, with 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist at halftime, Wiggins was a steady clock in, with 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists at halftime, and Porter Jr. also had 8 points and 2 rebounds.
The Jazz were able to overtake the Warriors, Bogdanovic was indispensable, with 11 points and 1 rebound on 4-of-9 shooting, Mitchell was not feeling good, only 7 shots and 2 shots, but also got 5 points, 7 rebounds and 7 7, Clarkson on the bench 8 points and 1 rebound, Whiteside became a Wizard, 5 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-of-2 shooting, and 1 steal and 6 blocks. With 6 blocks at half-time, Whiteside once again showed the style of the former block king, can this game block double? Let's wait and see.
