Showdown: The Warriors meet the Mavericks
In the fierce competition on December 31, Beijing time, the Warriors and the Mavericks launched a high-profile showdown. The game not only witnessed the Warriors' defensive holes, but also revealed the Warriors' difficulties on the offensive end, once again highlighting Thompson's sluggish form.
The Warriors are stuck in a quagmire on the offensive end
In this game, although Curry scored 25 points to contribute to the team, however, this did not hide the Warriors' overall offensive dilemma. The team is mired in an intractable offensive quagmire, and Thompson's renewed slump is even more worrying. Curry's shine shone brightly, but it couldn't hold up the entire team.
Paul is on the rise, and the partner is the only one
In the game, Paul played well and played steadily, contributing 24 points and six assists to the Warriors. However, Doncic was the focus of attention, scoring 39 points and 10 assists alone, becoming the biggest highlight of the game. Although Curry scored 25 points, he shot 9-of-25 from the field, and the contrast between the states of the key players of the two teams may be the reason for the change in the situation of the game, and this contrast also adds more excitement to the game.
The defense was weak and Kerr couldn't turn the deficit around
Despite Paul's consistent play and the stellar performances of TJD and Podzemski, the Warriors' weaknesses on the defensive end were exposed. The Mavericks easily found holes in their offense and successfully penetrated the Warriors' defense. As head coach, Kerr has not been able to effectively reverse this disadvantage and create more chances for the team to win.
The game ended sadly, and the Warriors eventually lost 132-122. Although Curry scored 25 points, he was unable to lead the team on a counterattack. The outcome of the game sparked controversy among fans, who debated whether it was time to make deeper adjustments to the team. The question of whether a defeat should cause deep thinking about the future direction of the entire team has become a point of contention.
