After four consecutive defeats, the Warriors, who rank third in the West, regained their home games and ushered in the challenge of the fifth-place Jazz team in the West.
In terms of the Warriors, although Poole is in hot form, whether the team can end the losing streak in this campaign, Thompson + Wiggins obviously needs to play.
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, Gobert town guarded the inside line, and whether the Jazz could win 2 consecutive wins in this battle has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
However, after four quarters of fighting, with a wave of 14-3 scoring climax, the jazz team dominated by the opposition, although in the first half, once overwhelmed the Warriors and occupied the initiative on the court.
But after returning from the second half, Thompson + Wiggins felt hot in the third quarter and led the Warriors to play several waves of counter-attacks, successfully narrowing the point difference to single digits and preserving the suspense of the game.
Coupled with the final showdown moment, Jordan Poole scored the key three points, Thompson was unstoppable, and the Warriors took advantage of the momentum to lock in the victory in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Warriors, who were fully up, also defeated the Jazz at home 111-107, successfully defending the home stadium at the same time, but also ending the team's losing streak!
In this game at home, although the Warriors once fell into a passive situation of as many as 21 points behind in the score, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 5 people scoring in double figures, completing a big reversal.
In the case of Wiggins + Green + Gary Payton II and other main players, each performing their duties, the joint cut of the 67 + 11 Thompson + Jordan Pooler play, it is particularly critical!
Thompson was in full swing, scoring 37 minutes in the opening game, shooting 8 three-pointers on 14 of 28 shooting, and scoring a game-high 36 points, plus 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Among them, throughout the second half, he dreamed of returning to the peak of the key performance of 24 points, not only stepped forward and led the Warriors to play a counterattack, but also almost single-handedly rewrote the trend of the game!
Of course, the Warriors were able to reverse the Jazz in this game, and the performance of the team's main attacker, Jordan Poole, also played a crucial role.
Jordan Poole lived up to expectations, starting 36 minutes, shooting 9 of 22 from the middle and 6 three-pointers, contributing 31 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block.
And in the second quarter, his heroic performance of scoring 14 points in a single quarter not only helped the Warriors bite the score, but also laid a solid foundation for the team's reversal!
More importantly, after the victory over the Jazz, the Warriors also officially locked up a place in the Western Conference playoffs this season with a team record of 49 wins and 29 losses in the regular season.
For head coach Cole, in the case of completing a 21-point reversal in this game and locking up a playoff spot, Cole is also double happy, and the joy is overflowing!
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, the team's performance in the final quarter of the game collapsed completely, and finally reversed, obviously still needs to be examined.
After all, in the case of Mitchell + Conley playing well and cutting 26+ at the same time, the sluggish performance of Reus O'Neal + Clarkson + House in 23 shots is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
In the face of the fiery Thompson + Jordan Poole, as well as the Warriors who blossomed more, the Jazz generals who worked hard for a whole game but did not return seemed to have no choice but to drink and hate.
More critically, after losing to the Warriors in this game and suffering a big reversal, the Jazz's regular season record was once again equalized by the Nuggets, who ranked sixth in the West.
Obviously, for the Jazz, at the end of the regular season, whether the team can maintain the current fifth ranking in the West, its prospects and situation, rationally speaking, are indeed not optimistic!
