On February 15, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. In a just-concluded Game of Western Focus, the Warriors lost to the Clippers 104-119 on the road, suffering their third defeat in the last four games, and the record became 42-16, continuing to rank second in the West.
The reason why the Warriors lost on the road today is directly related to the team's poor performance of Donne. Aside from Curry's 33 points, the Warriors' highest-scoring player on the team was wiggins, who scored 13 points. And Thompson today ushered in the worst game after the comeback, only 3 of 14 in the game to get 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, including only 5 of 1, 7 points from three points also set the worst record after Thompson's comeback, plus-minus -23 is the lowest in the team.
In fact, Thompson didn't feel particularly bad in the first half, hitting his first three-pointer of the day at 45 degrees on the right and his only one, and he made two baskets in the second quarter. Throughout the first half, Thompson scored seven points on 3-of-8 shooting.
But after entering the second half of the game, Thompson was completely dumbfounded, he lost all four points in the third quarter, and in the final quarter, Thompson lost both shots in the opening four minutes, and then he was replaced. Thompson, who was sitting on the bench, looked frustrated, even a little angry.
It is worth mentioning that in the Warriors' last game to beat the Lakers, Thompson scored 33 points, including 16 points in the final quarter to help the team reverse the game. However, in just 3 days, Thompson experienced a change from a new high after his comeback to a new low after his comeback. This also shows from another level that Thompson still needs some time to recover from perfect state.
According to the schedule, the Warriors will challenge the Nuggets on the road on Feb. 17, their final game before All-Star Weekend.
