The Clippers are a team that can surprise us, this team does not lack superstars, unfortunately Leonard has not returned so far this season, and what surprises them is that Paul George is also injured, and the number of appearances is less than thirty times, in the absence of two cores, the Clippers can still rank eighth in the West, and the winning rate is even higher than the Lakers. Today the Clippers and warriors met, and they gave us a wonderful confrontation.
The Warriors' performance has not been very good recently, the results are wins and losses, and the problem of insufficient internal ability has been exposed, and this is a position where they urgently need to strengthen. In this game, the Warriors sent starting players were Curry, Wiggins, Thompson, Cummingga and Looney, and Green, Iguodala and Wiseman still haven't returned. The Clippers' lineup is uneven, except for Paul George and Leonard, Kennard and Powell can not play, which is almost half of the team's starting lineup, they can only send the remnants of the game, starting players are Jackson, Morris, Terranceman, Zubac and Batum.
The first quarter was a great game, both teams found a shooting feel on the outside, scoring more than thirty points in a single quarter, Curry performed the most eye-catching, this quarter hit four three-pointers, scored sixteen points, the Warriors led by three points. In the second quarter, they did not continue the ultra-high shooting rate, the score drop was more obvious, after the end of the first half, the Clippers achieved a rebound, the lead was two points.
The third quarter was still the Clippers with some advantage, with their single quarter scoring more than thirty again, while the Warriors scored less than twenty points this quarter, widening the point difference to double digits, and victory was waving to the Clippers. The suspense in the fourth quarter is not much, although Curry and Porter scored consecutively, but unfortunately the point difference did not narrow, the gap between the two sides has remained in double digits, and finally the Clippers won the game.
The Clippers beat the Warriors 119-104 and scored six times in the game, with the Clippers leading by 25 points at most and the Warriors 8 points at most, and the difference was 15 points after the game.
Warriors player stats: Curry had 33 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 11-of-18 shooting; Wiggins had 13 points and 2 rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting; Thompson had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-14 shooting; Cumminga had 10 points and 2 rebounds on 4-of-8 shooting; And Poole had 13 points and 7 rebounds.
Clippers player stats: Jackson had 19 points, eight rebounds and nine assists on 8-of-17 shooting; Terenceman had 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists on 11-of-17 shooting; Zubac had 18 points and eight rebounds on 8-of-10 shooting; and Batum had 14 points, eight rebounds and one assist on 5-of-8 shooting.
The Warriors only had four players score in double figures, including only one curry player who scored more than twenty points, and his performance was somewhat high and low, the first half was almost bulletless, the second half did not get many opportunities, and the third and fourth quarters combined only scored seven points. The Clippers had a lot more offensive points, with the starting five players all scoring in double figures, and they aimed at the Warriors' weaknesses, that is, fifty-four points on the inside line, laying the foundation for victory.
In this game, the Warriors rebounded less than forty, and After the game, Kerr said in an interview that the loss had nothing to do with the height of the players on both sides, mainly because the defense of his own players was not hard enough, so that the opponent easily got a lot of points. This is the classic Kerr speech, losing has nothing to do with his own tactics, it is all a player problem, fans who have watched this game have a number in mind, it should be the Warriors to win, but Kerr has made many inexplicable substitutions, disrupting the offensive rhythm of his team. When Curry was feeling good, Kerr suddenly replaced Curry, during which the Clippers scored consecutive points, and the Warriors were in a dilemma of not being able to score, and I think Terrenlu performed better than Kerr.
