After winning a two-game winning streak and ending the road trip, the Twelfth-Ranked Kings of the West returned home and faced the challenge of the Warriors, who were third in the West, playing back-to-back.
In terms of the Kings, Barnes + David Mitchell are in hot form, and the team has home advantage in this campaign, and the Kings are also ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defend the home team for 3 consecutive wins.
On the other hand, on the Warriors side, Klay Thompson hung up the exemption card, and whether the Warriors can withstand the pressure in this battle away game has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
Finally, after four quarters of playing, with a perfect start of 28-14 in the single quarter, the Warriors, who were mainly anti-away, easily suppressed the Kings in the first half and achieved a huge advantage of 20 points.
Although after returning from the second half, Barnes felt hot in the third quarter and led the Kings to constantly play counter-attacks, successfully narrowing the score gap and preserving the suspense of the game.
But at the end of the final quarter, Wiggins + Belitsa's three points allowed the Warriors to establish a 19-point lead, and the Kings could not catch up with the points, so they had to lose.
In the end, the Warriors also won 109-90 on the road to the Kings, which was worth the trip to win 2 consecutive wins, but also gave the opponent Kings a 19-point defeat!
In this game, the Warriors can be described as all soldiers, playing a 5-man scoring double-double, multi-point blossoming team offensive, and winning a 19-point victory.
In the case of Cuminga + Damien Lee and other main players, each performing their duties, the two main players Jordan Poole + Wiggins, and the play of the odd soldier Belitsa on the bench, is particularly critical!
Jordan Poole was very efficient in this game, starting 31 minutes, shooting 60% of the 9-of-15 shooting, and delivering 22 points, 5 rebounds , 5 assists and 1 block.
In the absence of Tang Shen, Jordan Poole also stepped forward in time to provide the Warriors with a powerful outside firepower and help the Warriors win!
In addition, as another main attacker of the team, wiggins played a vital role in this game.
Wiggins fired all his might, shooting 4 three-pointers and a game-high 25 points, plus 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, which successfully affected the trend of the game!
Of course, the Warriors were able to beat the Kings in this game, and the performance of the miracle soldier Belitsa on the bench was also indispensable.
In this game, Belitsa was appointed to play 29 minutes off the bench, shooting 7 of 11 from the middle and outside the line and hitting 3 three-pointers, contributing 19 points + 12 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 blocks.
Not only in the offensive end, but also in the defensive end, it has disrupted the king's offensive rhythm and deployment many times, and made a great contribution to the Warriors to win the game!
More importantly, after winning two consecutive wins over the Kings in this campaign, the Warriors' regular season record was also improved to 50 wins and 29 losses, throwing away the fourth-place Lone Rangers in the West and standing on the heel of the third place in the West!
On the other hand, on the Kings side, the team collapsed at both ends of the attack and defense in this game, and finally swallowed the 19-point rout of the game, which obviously made it difficult for the home fans to accept.
After all, in the case of Barnes + Damian Jones playing well, the sluggish performance of David Mitchell + Di Vincenzo in 24 shots of only 8 is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
It is worth mentioning that after losing to the Warriors in this game, the Kings were also officially out, missing the related competition for the playoffs this season, setting a record for the team in the history of the league for 16 consecutive years without a playoff.
Obviously, although the Kings have introduced all-star player Sabonis Jr. this season, the team undoubtedly has many difficulties to overcome and solve on the road to complete reconstruction!
