Capela proved himself and Hunter completely fell out of favor
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' performance, this game Hawks side Trae Young shot 11 of 20 from the field, 7 of 11 three-pointers got 35 points and 5 assists, Trae Young's efficiency on the offensive end has improved significantly recently, which is also the reason why the Hawks can pick up their record, Murray scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, because the team has been in good shape recently, Snyder tried to dissuade management from trading Murray.
Capela showed his advantage on the inside, he shot 8 of 11 from the field, scored 17 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists, it turns out that as long as Capela has the ball, he can still give the team a lot of help on the offensive end, he just lost the ball for a while ago so he didn't play as well as he should, such a good cake center, and experience, there may be many strong teams interested in getting him at the trade deadline, such as the Mavericks.
Jalen Johnson scored 21 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, and now Jalen Johnson has made himself a non-sale by relying on his excellent play, and the team's No. 4 pick Hunter won through the draft in 19 is now reduced to a bench rotation, and the ball and playing time are further compressed, to be honest, Hunter's talent is very good, and he, like Reddish, did not get the opportunity to prove his talent in the Hawks.
Curry played solidly, and Klay was demoted
Curry's performance in this game is still very steady, he shot 22 of 37 in the game, 10 of 22 in three-point shooting to 60 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, Kuminga's ball in this game suddenly became less, he shot 6 of 12 in the game, 1 of 3 three-pointers got 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, he had won 8 consecutive games with 20+ performance in a single game, and now it is not wise to be honest about Kuminga's downgrade.
In the past period, the reason why the Warriors have been able to play aggressively again on the offensive end is because Kuminga can provide stable output, before the Warriors did not have a stable second scoring point except for Curry, and now Kuminga has taken on this role, so the team is on the right track, I think he reduced the ball, one of the main reasons is the existence of Klay, Klay as a veteran of the team, he is also the former second leader with unlimited firing rights.
So he occupied most of the ball, which eventually led to Kuminga not having a stable ball, and after Klay got more balls, he didn't play a decent game, 4 of 19 shots in this game, 2 of 13 three-pointers got 10 points and 3 rebounds, Klay's biggest problem now is that he is not stable enough, if the Warriors want to continue to play well, then they should give the ball to Kuminga more.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Warriors and Hawks?
