On March 26, Beijing time, the Hawks played at home against the Warriors. Poole is too fierce and has scored 20+ in 11 consecutive games! Not only did he set a career record, he was also the fourth Warriors player to do so in the last 10 seasons, with the other three being David Lee, Curry and Durant!

Warriors starters: Poole, Thompson, Wiggins, Cumminga, Dream, Hawks starters: Trae Young, Schult, Hunter, Gallinari, Capela.

In addition, the Eagles' Borgdan was also absent due to a knee injury. Speaking of today's game, the Hawks started 10-3, and the momentum was quite good. But their defense sucked, and the Warriors came back 42-36 in the first quarter.

Wiggins and Cumminga were dropped by Kerr in the fourth quarter, and Payton Jr. was much more aggressive on the court, grabbing six rebounds, four of which were frontcourts, and the Warriors blasted out a 21-6 attacking wave. As Klay's feel dropped, the Warriors' offense struggled. In the final minute and a half of the game, the Hawks scored two consecutive three-pointers and Trae Young killed the game.
