I believe that no one would have thought that after sending off the second player in the team, McCollum, the Portland Trail Blazers could actually achieve a wave of 4 consecutive wins during this period, once again playing the style of their former playoff powerhouse. That's right, Josh Hart has played an All-Star level statistic performance in recent times. In the 3 games currently playing for the Trail Blazers, he can also hand over the comprehensive data of averaging 24 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, including 60% shooting and 52% three-point shooting!
However, we also have to admit that the Trail Blazers are still in too bad shape in the first half of the regular season, with a current record of 25 wins and 34 losses, as well as the tenth ranking in the West, and it is still difficult to get tickets to the playoffs. In this game, the Blazers accepted the Challenge of the Golden State Warriors at home, and failed to continue the previous winning streak, suffering a crazy blow from the opponent. In the first quarter, the Blazers' rookie Anfinney Simmons, although he was able to shoot 4 of 5 in a single quarter, delivered 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but it only helped the team play a 32-31 score, only to take a one-point lead.
The Warriors, who entered the second quarter of the showdown and were in a state of backwardness, began a strong counterattack. Curry shot 3-of-6 in a single quarter and 6-of-6 from the free throw line, delivering 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and Kuminga, who came off the bench, also had 9 points and 3 rebounds. With the continuous efforts of the players on the team, the Warriors actually played a 39-25 score in one fell swoop, not only recovering the first quarter of the 1 point behind, but also taking a 13-point lead with a 70-57 score at halftime. The Warriors, who fought again and achieved a score reversal, followed the trend and continued to widen the point difference.
In the third quarter of the competition, Wiggins, who was in a slump in the first half, played himself, delivering 10 points and 1 rebound, and starting center Looney also contributed 6 points and 4 rebounds, helping the team play a 30-16 score and once again take a 14-point lead. By the time it reached the crucial final quarter of the showdown, the point difference between the two sides had reached 27 points, and there was no suspense in this game. Before entering the regular showdown in the fourth quarter, Kerr also chose to collect troops early, sending only rotating players to continue to consume the remaining game time.
In the end, after the regular time of the fourth quarter, the Warriors once again played a 32-22 score and completed a 37-point victory with a total score of 132-95! The familiar Curry is back, back to the time when the three-quarter clock-out was off: only 27 minutes in a single game, delivering 18 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists, and making a lot of contributions on the scoring end and the organizational offensive end. At the same time, with 45 goals and 36 assists in a single game, the other players on the Warriors side also contributed very well, and the whole team maintained 8 players to get double figures.
On the other hand, on the side of the Blazers who lost at home, Hart failed to continue to show himself, with only 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Anfenni Simmons, who also clocked in three quarters to get off work, although he handed over the highest score of 24 points in the game, he could not escape the situation of losing in the end, which was really embarrassing. Lillard is still injured, the team's second-in-command McCollum has been sent away, and the Blazers' playoff trip may also end.
