On March 8, Beijing time, the Warriors lost 124-131 to the Nuggets on the road. It's important to note that warriors' Big Three players Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are not eligible for this game.
Even though the Warriors have suffered a five-game losing streak after losing the game against the Nuggets, and the team's record has dropped to 43-22, young players can still play a surprise performance in this game.
With the exception of Jordan Poole, who played 34 minutes and scored 32 points on 11-of-19 shooting and eight three-pointers, the Warriors' best player was undoubtedly Moses Moody, who had the opportunity to start the game.
Throughout the game, Moses Moody scored 30 points on 10-of-23 shooting in 36 minutes, in addition to shooting five three-pointers and contributing 3 rebounds and 1 steal, scoring 30 points in a single game and the highest single-game scoring performance in a single game, and the youngest single-game 30-pointer in Warriors history.
As the young player who was picked by the Warriors with the 14th pick in the first round of 2021, Moses Moody is a 1.96-meter-tall backcourt player, and in fact, Moody did not get many opportunities in Kerr's rotation before this game against the Nuggets.
So far this season, Moody's has only 8 games that can get 20 to 29 minutes to play, and only 2 games with more than 30 minutes of playing time (including today), simply put, Moody has not had many opportunities to show his talent in this Warriors team so far this season, but considering the Depth of the Warriors' backcourt, this is not to blame Coach Kerr.
Even though Moody may struggle to get enough playing time after Curry and Gary Payton return, he can also seize the opportunity to show himself in this game that Curry is absent, because it means that he will at least be one of the warriors' new star players for many years to develop.
