Klay Thompson played
The Golden State Warriors' winning streak was ended by the Jazz, and it was a 26-point fiasco with no temper. Without dreaming green, the Stability of the Warriors has indeed dropped a lot, but this game against the New York Knicks, Klay Thompson ushered in a comeback, which is undoubtedly good news for the Warriors. After all, as long as Klay Thompson is on the court, opponents will pay special attention to the defensive end, and Stephen Curry can naturally get better shots.
The Knicks have been in terrible shape lately, with the team suffering four straight losses and getting farther and farther away from eighth in the East. And in this game, Barrett, one of the core of the team, was unable to play because of injuries. This means that Randall must take on more responsibility before he has a chance to lead the team to win the game.
The Warriors reversed defeat
At the beginning of the first quarter, Randall showed his strength, facing the Warriors' weak interior line, with 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, Fournier scored 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting, and Gibson on the bench was 8 points on 3-of-3 shooting. The Knicks blasted down 33 points in the first quarter, while the Warriors scored just 28 points, with Klay hitting two three-pointers and Curry 2 points and four assists. After returning from the second quarter, Steven Curry began to exert his strength, shooting 4-of-10, hitting 3 three-pointers, and 6 free throws, and 17 points and 1 steal in the single quarter.
Regardless of the scoring, Curry led the Warriors to 34 points in the second quarter, and at the end of the half, they surpassed the Knicks by 5 points at 62-57. In the second half, Curry was magical, only 3 points and 3 assists on 1-of-5 shooting, the team only scored 20 points in a single quarter, Randle made another effort, and in the single quarter it was 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, all of which were near the box. With Randle's help, the Knicks managed to beat the Warriors by six points. After returning from the final quarter, the Knicks' bench drummed up and stretched the point difference to double digits.
Damian Lee and Curry hit consecutive three-pointers to narrow the gap to single digits, and then Poole teamed up with Wiggins to create a 7-0 mini-climax that went straight to 2 points. Fournier's three-pointer stabilized the situation, Klay scored under the basket, and Cole was dissatisfied with the penalty and received a technical foul. The Warriors chased fruitlessly, and finally lost to the Knicks 114-116, helplessly swallowing two consecutive losses.
Expose the biggest shortcomings
Steven Curry found his form, 35 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists, 11 of 25 shots, 5 of 16 three-pointers, the personal performance was impeccable, Klay was 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, three points 9 shots 3, as long as given time, will be able to play better data.

However, the Warriors' shortcomings were very obvious, with only 38 rebounds in the game, and the Knicks grabbed 51 rebounds.

Fournier hit five three-pointers and also had 22 points and one rebound, with Burks on the bench having 15 points, six rebounds and five assists, Gibson having 10 points and seven rebounds, and Reddish having 12 points, three assists and two steals.
