On February 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Warriors challenged the Clippers on the road. In the first quarter of the game, Curry was in very good shape, he was full of firepower, scoring 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting in a single quarter, and the whole team scored more than three points, scoring 37 points in a single quarter, 3 points ahead of the Clippers. However, in the following three quarters of the game, the Warriors gradually in a passive, their offense can not limit the Clippers play, the defense on the inside is not ideal, although curry is in excellent form, the whole game scored 33 points, shooting 8 three-pointers on the outside, but it is still difficult to help the team win. In the end, the Warriors lost 104-119 to the Very Incomplete Clippers on the road, losing three of their last four games.
When Curry scored 16 points in the first quarter, I believe most teams were a bit overwhelmed, but the Clippers withstood Curry's impact in this game. Although the team could not restrain the Warriors' offense in the first quarter, their offense also made it impossible for the Warriors to restrain it. In the first quarter, the Clippers were able to match the Warriors' offensive intensity, and they also scored 34 points in the first quarter, only 3 points behind the Warriors.
When the Warriors' shooting efficiency declined, the Clippers continued to implement their own tactics step by step, performing very well in teamwork, and their efficiency on the offensive end was also very high, suppressing the Warriors at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. In the third quarter, the Clippers also played a wave of 33-19 offense, winning by 14 points in a single quarter. You know, this season's Warriors have been very strong in the third quarter, and many games have been able to win the game by relying on the outbreak of the third quarter. The Clippers were able to beat the Warriors by 14 points in the third quarter, and from this point of view, it is enough to see how well the Clippers performed in this game.
In the final quarter, when the Warriors struggled to close the point gap, the Clippers didn't give them a chance, and the team always maintained a lead in the score, holding a double-digit advantage for a long time. In the end, the Clippers easily beat the Warriors at home to win two straight. Mann scored 25 points, Reggie Jackson had 19 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, Morris Jr. 11 points, Zubac 18 points and 8 rebounds, Batum 14 points and 8 rebounds, and the team scored in double figures with 6 players, and the overall offense was very smooth.
On the Warriors side, their offense in the first quarter was excellent, but their performance on the defensive end was a bit disappointing, they couldn't prevent Zubac's inside line, they couldn't limit Mann and Reggie Jackson's breakthrough layups, and the whole team didn't play well on the defensive end, which also led to the team's inability to pull apart the point difference when they played an efficient offense in the first quarter. In the last three quarters, when the Warriors could not hit the shot, the score was also widened, and finally the Warriors lost to the remaining Clippers on the road, missing out on a winning streak.
Curry played well in this game, scoring 33 points on 11-of-18 shooting and 8-of-13 three-pointers, but unfortunately, such a performance is still difficult to help the team. In this game, Clay had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-14 shooting, Wiggins had 13 points and Looney had 7 points. The whole team has a lot of shortcomings on the defensive end, especially in terms of the interior, and for now, if the Warriors want to impact the championship, they need to strengthen the inside line.
