After scoring 42 points in the first quarter, the Warriors went all the way up and down, scoring only 16 points in the third quarter, and the Hawks won by 16 points in the single quarter, and finally the Warriors lost to the Hawks 110-121, recreating the loss. It is currently in third place in the West, three wins ahead of the fourth-place Jazz.
Clay Thompson played a near-perfect game, and in 40 minutes and 23 seconds of playing time, Klay Thompson shot 14 of 26 and 9 of 16 from three-point range, and exploded 37 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists without free throws, making him the highest-scoring player of the game.
Guard Poole, who started with Klay Thompson, made 8-of-22 shooting and 24 points and 10 assists on 4-of-13 three-pointers. The two combined contributed 57 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, but they were unable to save the Warriors from the depths of the water. It is worth mentioning that Klay Thompson and Poole scored 22 points together in the first half.
A big reason for the loss was the enigmatic lineup that Cole put in in the final quarter. The four-back combination of Payton + Lee + Klay Thompson + Poole has almost no rim protection ability, coupled with Poole's own poor defense, there have been many leaks, which also led to the eventual failure of the game.
After Klay Thompson was granted unlimited firing rights, the first player to be affected was Wiggins. Wiggins scored nine points on just nine shots in this game. Wiggins's personality belongs to the kind of type that if the green leaf type is willing to give the offensive opportunity to his teammates, no one really attacks himself and then attacks, and Klay Thompson is always a player who takes shooting as the first choice, and the two attributes are almost completely opposite.
The Warriors lost their role without Curry playing. Although Poole played a very beautiful game in the first half, he suddenly lost in the second half and did not have a lot of impact on the direction of the game, and this is the gap between Poole and Curry. Even if there is no point, Curry can also contain his opponents.
