On December 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season was ignited again, and the Mavericks faced the Warriors away. Doncic's 39+10 performance was in focus, and Curry's slump put the Warriors into a historic slump.
One Quarter: Doncic leads alone, Curry feels cold.
At the start of the game, Davis and Kuminga dunked back-to-back to score points for the Warriors. However, Curry's slump became a weakness for the Warriors, while Doncic scored 11 points in the first quarter. Although Paul, Klay and other players worked hard, the Mavericks led 34-26 in the first quarter with their excellent team performance. Curry's sluggish 1-of-7 shooting percentage became a stiff wound for the Warriors and a key point in the game.
Second quarter counterattack: The Mavericks hold the lead, and the Warriors struggle to catch up.
In the second quarter, the Warriors still struggled to stop the Mavericks' sharp offense. Players like Kuminga played well, but the Mavericks' three-point rain left the Warriors helpless. At halftime, the Warriors trailed 54-63. Wiggins and Paul looked a little overshadowed by the Mavericks' strong performance.
Continuing to lead in the second half: Curry continued to miss the game, and the Mavericks gradually sealed the win.
In the second half, the Mavericks continued to hold the lead, Curry still couldn't find his touch outside the three-point line, and the Mavericks gradually extended the lead through the excellent play of players such as Doncic. The Warriors' three major scoring points were collectively sluggish, with Klay 1-of-11 and Curry 9-of-25 from the field.
The final whistle blows: The Mavericks beat the Warriors, and Curry is in the doldrums.
At the end of the game, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 132-122, and the Warriors suffered a three-game losing streak. Curry pulled his hip again, and the inefficiency of 9-of-25 shooting made it impossible for the Warriors to fight back. Herro's outstanding performance in this game made Curry and Paul even more helpless.
Curry is in the doldrums, and the Warriors are at an all-time low.
The Warriors suffered a historic slump in this game, and Curry's performance was unable to lead the team to victory, and the record fell to 15-17, ranking 11th in the West, and missing out on the play-in tournament. The slump of the Splash Brothers has become a weakness for the Warriors, and the team needs to find their form as soon as possible to avoid continuing to lose points.
Doncic has another great record, and the Mavericks have come to prominence.
The Mavericks managed to get out of the previous slump with Doncic's heroic performance. Doncic scored 39 points and 10 rebounds in this game, showing his dominance in the NBA. The overall performance of the Mavericks also gives a glimpse of their potential competitiveness in the West.
Curry's dilemma: Consecutive slumps affect the Warriors' performance.
Curry has been underperforming in December, shooting less than 40 percent from the field in seven games, which has been a big reason for the Warriors' loss. Curry's personal form has a significant impact on the team's overall performance, and he needs to adjust his form as soon as possible to lead the Warriors out of this difficult situation.
Conclusion: Warriors in distress need to save themselves.
For the Warriors, back-to-back losses have put the team in a difficult situation, and Curry's slump has become their biggest weakness. The team needs to make adjustments at the technical and tactical level, and the players need to quickly find their form and turn things around. Otherwise, the Warriors could face an even bigger challenge this season.
