Boom 25+3+4!Must enter the playoffs, Paul made a promise after the game, and when it comes to the Lakers showdown

In an NBA game that ended today, the Warriors beat the Wizards 123-112, there was basically no suspense in this battle, the Warriors only trailed by 2 points in the first quarter, the Warriors took a slight lead in the second quarter, the Wizards collapsed in the third quarter, the Warriors played the Warriors three crazy and won 21 points in a single quarter, although the Wizards fought back tenaciously in the final quarter, but the Warriors firmly controlled the situation on the court and finally won. In terms of statistics, Klay blasted 25 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers, Kuminga 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Paul came back with 9 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 turnovers, Moody 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, Payton Jr. 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, and Green 6 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Warriors are now on the right track, according to statistics, the last 14 games they have achieved 11 wins and 3 losses, the result is that the ranking has risen, after this battle, the Lakers rose to 9th in the West, but the winning rate of the two sides is close, considering that the Jazz and the Rockets are falling behind, so basically the Warriors and Lakers will meet in the play-offs, according to the regulations, the 9th and 10th play-offs in the division have only one life, as long as they lose, they will be completely out, so the competition between the Warriors and the Lakers around the 9th place in the West will be more intense, after all, the 9th place has a home court advantage, of course, it is not ruled out that the Warriors or the Lakers have the possibility of rushing into the top 8, but the difficulty is too high, the Warriors are now 2.5 wins behind the Mavericks in 8th place, and they can't catch up in a short period of time.

Looking at the whole court, Curry once again played a sluggish performance, only 6 of 21 shots in the game, 4 of 16 three-point shots, the most exaggerated is 7 in the first half of 0, actually did not score a point, or let's put it another way to prove Curry's poor performance during this time, according to statistics, Curry has 3 times in this game three times three non-sticky situation, in addition, Curry has shot a total of 54 in the past three games 17, shooting rate of only 31.5% , This is obviously not the level that Curry should normally have, the reason is that in the first 57 games of this season, Curry played a total of 54 games, setting his attendance record in the last 7 seasons, so the cute god should be tired, which led to the impact on the performance, not surprisingly, Curry should be properly rested for the rest of the schedule, after all, Paul is back.

Klay is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the Warriors' victory, he has been relieved to play off the bench, without any complaints, after scoring 23 points in the last game, he broke out again today, in the first quarter he hit a key jumper and an open three-pointer, helping the Warriors bite the score, and in the third quarter, Klay exploded, teamed up with Paul to rain three-pointers, and hit two three-pointers in the second half, the Warriors played the third time to play the Yong three crazy, relying on Klay, he hit 13 points in a single quarter, in the fourth quarter, Poole made a layup to lead the team to chase points, at this time the Warriors also relied on Klay's jump shot to stop the bleeding. As it turns out, Klay is a good fit off the bench, averaging 19.8 points per game and making 4.4 three-pointers while shooting 48 percent, 45 percent and 100 percent from three, which is a lot of improvement from when he started.

Probably the only impact is that after Klay came off the bench, Curry faced a sharp increase in defensive pressure, but this is also something that cannot be helped, the Warriors can only slowly adapt, and if Podemski can step up, then the situation will be much better. In addition to Klay, the comeback Paul is also a big surprise, don't look at the data is inconspicuous, but Paul's plus/minus is as high as +17, especially in the first half when Curry was in a slump, Paul played the role of a Dinghai Shenpin, leading the team to attack a wave of 7-0 and 9-0, the ability to control the field is quite stable, and the most important thing is that Paul and Klay have a very good effect. In addition, Kuminga, Podemski, Moody and Payton Jr. have also played remarkably, and overall the Warriors' win rate is gradually improving, and there is hope for hitting the top 8.

Paul was interviewed after the game, and when talking about the changes in the Warriors' rotation during this period, Paul said: "We know that this can change every game, Steve [Kerr] said he will figure it out, he will sometimes disrupt the combination, but we have very good players who can provide different content every night, I don't have any problem with that perception, and I will always be ready," which is easy to understand, Kerr has been adjusting the rotation lineup, and Paul has no opinion.

Then came the point, when it came to the Warriors' move to No. 9 in the West, Paul said: "I think it's a start, there's a lot of talk about our and the Lakers' rankings, but as a group, we have a lot of depth in the roster, we can play in a lot of different ways, and it's going to take a little bit of time to figure out, obviously you want to win while figuring it out, and the playoffs are definitely our goal, but we're going to go one step further and get to another level." ”

Paul's point is obvious, the Warriors' goal is the playoffs, and at the same time, Paul also believes that the Warriors need to continue to improve, or there is still room for improvement. Not only that, Paul talked about the Lakers also having a showdown, and he believes that the Warriors have better roster depth and playing style, and it can be seen that Paul is really confident. It's not just Paul, Klay has said something similar this season, saying, "It's a very rare feat for two future Hall of Famers [myself and Paul] to play off the bench in the backcourt, and we're proud of it, and it's going to make our team more dangerous, and that's something we should continue to do." "In the end, let's hope Curry can bounce back as soon as possible, the Warriors' next opponent is the Knicks, this is a tough battle, Curry needs to step up.
