In the NBA regular season, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 112-97 at home, ending a five-game losing streak.
This victory is very much needed by the Warriors, so yesterday's back-to-back first game against the Nuggets, the team had a large rotation, Curry, Thompson and Wiggins did not fly to Denver with the team, staying in Golden State to prepare for today's game, fortunately the result is still very good, the Warriors finally got the victory.
But in today's game, Curry, Thompson and Wiggins are not in very good shape, Curry has 15 points on 5 of 12, Wiggins has 14 points and 11 rebounds on 6 of 14, and Thompson has 20 points on 9 of 23. This time, I was able to win thanks to Poole and Cuminga on the bench, who together contributed 41 points, and it was their play that helped the team open up the point difference. The Warriors went on a 33-15 offensive run in the second quarter, with Poole scoring 13 points alone, while Cumminga seized the opportunity in the final quarter to score 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the quarter.
As you can see from the shot, Thompson has been a bit anxious recently and wants to quickly get back to his form to help the team. Previously, facing the Lakers, 3 of 13 shots, directly turned his head and left after the game, very dissatisfied with his performance. In today's game, Thompson showed a strong desire to attack, playing more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, making 6 shots and only hitting 1 goal; fortunately, after some adjustments, 8 of 17 shots.
But overall, Thompson's state is still a bit sluggish, 9 of 23 shots, 9 of 3 points, coupled with Poole's hot state, some doubts will naturally appear.
For this situation, Curry, as a good brother, stood up for the first time, encouraged Thompson, and said: "Continue to be aggressive." You're Klay Thompson. Never forget this. "Regardless of the language after the game, but also on the court, Curry gave Thompson enough support, this time he played 35 minutes, only 12 shots, tied for fourth in the team, behind Thompson, Wiggins and Poole.
When Dream Green returns, Thompson may be more comfortable playing, after all, many tactics are based on him. For Green, Thompson also missed very much, "I haven't played with Dream for almost three years, he is like my brother, I miss him and Iguodala very much." 」 "This season Thompson returned, Green just injured, but Green still played with injuries for a few seconds, just to witness the return of good brothers, the friendship between Curry, Thompson and Green is quite enviable, and I look forward to their retirement from the Warriors."
