Today's NBA regular season, the Warriors lost to the Thunder 123-130, the process of ups and downs, the first quarter of the Warriors only trailed by 2 points, the second quarter overtook and established a double-digit lead, the third quarter Thunder had the upper hand, the two teams were deadlocked for a long time in the final quarter, Wiggins hit three points, there were 1.6 seconds left, as a result, Holmgren threw a three-point whistle to drag the game to overtime, Alexander broke out, cut 10 points in a row to lead the team to lock up the win. In terms of statistics, Curry had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Wiggins had 31 points and 3 assists, Thompson had 16 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 turnovers, Paul had 12 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, and Kuminga had 13 points and 5 rebounds.
The Warriors and the Thunder have played each other twice, and both have lost, and looking at the whole game, the Warriors led by up to 18 points today, but they were still reversed, and they are currently suffering 6 consecutive defeats, looking at the entire West, as long as the 1st Spurs (8 consecutive losses) are worse than them. You have to find the reason for losing, the Warriors mainly exposed three problems, the first is that the defense is bad, the Warriors really can't prevent anyone, the Thunder is not allowed to go outside this game, but the Warriors have no inside, the Thunder attacks casually, Alexander scored 15 points in the third quarter, and the final quarter and overtime also went violent, and the Warriors' interior defense is like air to him. There is also Holmgren, casually rubbing the Warriors' interior line, Kerr increased Looney's use time this time, but the Warriors' interior line was still blown up.
According to statistics, Holmgren staged a total of 4 dunks throughout the game, including one against Curry. Alexander's data in this game is 40 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Holmgren is 36 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, Wang Bang combined 76 + 16 + 11, broke through the Warriors, it must be admitted that the Thunder have this pair of peerless double pride, it is only a matter of time before they rise, maybe they already have the strength to break out of the West this season, don't forget that the Thunder also have Keady, Jalen Williams and Isaiah Joe These players are good. The second problem is that Curry is not in good shape after his return, playing a lot and still seems to be affected by injuries.
Throughout the fourth quarter and overtime, Curry almost didn't contribute, and the Warriors were able to bite the point difference, relying on Wiggins's various continued scores, but after entering overtime, Wiggins was also dumbfounded, and it is not difficult to understand that the Warriors lost. The last question, Thompson's state is worrying, as far as the second quarter is concerned, Thompson's offensive performance is okay, but in the fourth quarter and overtime, Thompson does not score a goal, and furthermore, Thompson seems to be obsessed with dribbling, and as a result, he loses the ball as soon as he dribbles, and even the commentator can't help but complain about whether he can replace him, and the same is true on the defensive end.
Curry was interviewed after the game, Moe God was very frustrated, and he said with tears when talking about the 6 consecutive defeats: "Such a losing streak, this is definitely something that needs to be solved urgently, when you have such a long losing streak, this is a problem that you have to solve, you don't want to develop a losing mentality, we all hate to lose, everything is in front of us, we need to make adjustments, I don't know if it's a rotation problem or something else, everyone has to be ready." This is easy to understand, Curry thinks the Warriors need to make adjustments as soon as possible, but Moe God doesn't know how to adjust, obviously implying Kerr.
There must be problems with Cole's use of people, such as Thompson, all kinds of mistakes and bad defense, in this case he is still on the court at the critical moment, I don't know what Cole thinks, use Kuminga more, increase the impact of the basket The success rate is higher? Similarly, Paul was unhappy with Kerr after the game, saying of the loss: "We made mistakes and paid the price, but luckily the team is in a good mental state, no one is overly worried, we just have some small problems to solve, but the team-mates are united and I'm sure Kerr will find a solution." ”
Paul's words were also a reminder to Kerr that it was time to make adjustments, while Paul remained confident in the Warriors, who he believes will gradually get on the right track. Looking back on this wave of 6 consecutive defeats, Thompson's state continues to be sluggish, so the most important adjustment Kerr needs to make is to let Thompson play as a substitute, or reduce his playing time, but Kerr does not have the guts, Thompson is the team's meritorious veteran, with a big temper and pride, let him play as a substitute, Thompson will definitely not agree. The Warriors' next opponents are the Rockets and Suns, who still don't seem to have any hope of winning.
