The Warriors lost to the Thunder in overtime and moved to 10-12. Throughout the season, the Warriors have gone through so many games from lead to loss, and this can be said to be a very representative game.
Curry got off to a slow start, shooting just 2-of-7 from the field in the first three-and-a-half quarters, while the Warriors played well as a team to take a 69-60 lead.
In the second half of the third quarter, Curry led the bench lineup to be beaten to an offensive climax, and the Thunder overtook the score in one fell swoop, winning by 11 points at 33-22 in a single quarter and entering the fourth quarter with a lead. Curry shot just 3-of-10 from the field in the first three quarters, destroying the lead his teammates had built.
Entering the fourth quarter, Curry went to rest, and Kerr sent Thompson and Kuminga to lead the role players, and in one fell swoop in the first half of the quarter, a 17-8 climax to regain the lead. Then Curry came on the court, and the game went to the deciding stage. One thing to say, Curry showed strong offensive firepower, scoring frequently in the second half of the fourth quarter and overtime. But on the defensive end, Curry is constantly being beaten by the point list and losing points at a faster pace. In the end, a miraculous phenomenon was presented, Curry kept scoring but did not win points, and in the end, the Warriors unfortunately lost.
Compared with yesterday's Lakers defeat of the Pelicans, the 39-year-old James also blasted a plus/minus of +36 when scoring efficiently. The reason is also simple, while slashing points in a row, on the defensive end, James made three offensive fouls and contributed five steals in Zion. Directly made it impossible for the Pelicans to effectively organize the offense, and a wave went into garbage time.
So the Warriors are losing now not because of a certain ball or a certain round, but because of the offensive and defensive performance of the whole game.
I think Curry's inefficient offense in the first three quarters caused the Warriors to not take enough lead, and the defense in the deciding period led to the inability to win the game, and Curry was primarily responsible.
And by the standard of role players, Curry's teammates did not perform badly, the offensive and defensive performance in the first three quarters was even very good, and it was not easy to chase points in the first half of the fourth quarter. #nba#
