On December 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Warriors challenged the Clippers away. The Warriors have been in trouble recently, Green was absent from the suspension, this time Thompson came up in a hot state and led the team to take the initiative on the court, but the Clippers soon took the initiative and once established a 16-point lead, and then the Warriors struggled to catch up, and the final quarter was close to the score, but unfortunately the three-point feeling failed to continue. In the end, the Warriors lost 113-121 to the Clippers and suffered three consecutive defeats.
Another loss, the Warriors' recent momentum has been very sluggish, and they are also in trouble internally, and it is uncertain when Green will return from suspension. Wiggins was relegated to the bench this time and his form this season has been very sluggish, and this is the first time he has come off the bench in his career, but unfortunately the effect is still not very good. He scored 9 points on 4-of-9 shooting, and Podemski, who started the game in his place, was also in good shape, scoring only 4 points on 2-of-11 shooting, and was quite active on the court, rushing to grab offensive rebounds many times, with 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
But this time Klay Thompson ushered in a burst, playing 32 minutes in the game, shooting 9-of-15, 8-of-12 three-pointers, and scoring 30 points and 5 assists. This time on the court, Clay will not shoot blindly, and is willing to pass the ball, 30 points and hitting 8 three-pointers in a single game, both of which set new highs for his season. And he also used an excellent performance to prove to the outside world that he can still be the Warriors' starter, but unfortunately he failed to continue his touch in the final quarter, missed the opportunity to help the team chase points, and failed to save the team.
Klay erupted, but Curry was lost. played 34 minutes, shot 5-of-17, 3-of-13 three-pointers, got 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and in the crucial final quarter, when teammates closed the gap to 1 point, but Curry came up and did not save the team, but did not have a sense of presence at all, and this time he did not take responsibility.
Losing this game, the Warriors suffered 3 consecutive defeats, and 7 consecutive defeats on the road, and the strength at the beginning of the season was suddenly gone. The Warriors now have a 10-14 record, 11th in the West, and are three wins away from the 10th-place Suns. If this momentum continues, the Warriors will not talk about the playoffs, and even the play-offs will be a bit dangerous. The Warriors are really having problems these days, and the roster really needs to change.
