The Suns won 116-119 over the Warriors, which was a surprise defeat for the Warriors. Although the Warriors trailed their opponents for most of the game, they led by 15 points at one point in the first half. However, the starting line-up did not perform as well as they could have done so, as they were dismantled by their opponents in attack and made frequent mistakes in defence, which led to the loss of the lead.
In particular, at key moments in the game, Curry failed to play to his usual level, missed consecutive shots, and missed the opportunity to win the game. If the starting lineup had not made a significant mistake, the Warriors could have won the game. After the game, the whole team was frustrated, and even more worrying was the bad atmosphere in the dressing room. Compared to last season, the potential uncontrollable contradictions within the team could erupt at any time, which is a problem that cannot be ignored.
At the moment, the conflict in the Warriors' locker room is mainly focused on Klay and Green. Klay was still poor in this game, so he was directly substituted by the coach at a crucial moment in the fourth quarter, and Kerr was already impatient with him. In addition, his good brother Curry also has some resentment against him. After a pass to Klay, Klay made a mistake, and Curry showed a dissatisfied expression, shook his head and sighed, and stood by looking at him, puzzled.
However, Klay still doesn't seem to recognize his mistakes, sticking to his own style and shooting whenever he gets the ball, never wasting any time. Even if it causes the opponent to fight back, he doesn't care because that's his motto. Clay, who was sitting on the bench, was even more dissatisfied, questioning whether the team should treat players who have contributed in the past.
Green has improved on the offensive end this season and looks okay on the defensive end, not as bad as Cleverskins, but he doesn't have a lot of decision-making and always has some problems every game. His behavior is getting worse and worse, not long ago he got into an argument with Gobert, trampled on Shabonis, and now he elbowed Nurkic to turn the arena into a ring. This kind of behavior will inevitably lead to a ban and he will also be treated especially by the referee in the future, which is obviously very bad for the team.
Kerr and Curry have run out of patience with Green's behavior, and they're really angry this time. Curry kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly when he saw Green elbow Nurkic on the sidelines, and Kerr's expression became serious, and he even wanted to hit someone. These two are currently the biggest problem facing the team, and if not properly addressed, the team will have a hard time making the playoffs this season and could even affect their standings in the league.
