On February 23, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Warriors comfortably defeated the Lakers 128-110 at home, rejecting the arrival of consecutive defeats. After this game, although the Warriors are still in 10th place in the West with 28 wins and 26 losses, they have closed the gap with the Lakers, and the two sides are only 0With a five-game win difference, the Warriors have a chance to continue to push forward. In this game, in the face of the Lakers without LeBron James, how did the Warriors win easily, maybe the data can give us some answers.
Curry, although it seems that the Warriors won the game is the credit of the whole team, but obviously Curry played a mainstay role, especially in the first half and the first quarter, when the two sides were inseparable, the Lakers relied on thick eyebrows, and the Warriors relied on Curry's 16 points in a single quarter to barely take the lead and maintain the point difference. In the end, Curry shot 12-of-24 from the field and 6-of-13 from three-point range, and efficiently cut down 32 points, 1 rebound, 8 assists and 3 steals in 32 minutes of playing time, and only had 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of +25 on the court. In the first quarter, it was Curry's score that helped the Warriors maintain the point difference, and in the second quarter, it was Curry's assist that helped the Warriors play momentum.
Wiggins, I don't have to say anything today, the offensive and defensive ends are key. On the offensive end, he shot 8-of-14 from the field, 2-of-5 from three-point range, and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover. After confirming that he would not be sent away by the trade, he did not swing and his form was not sluggish, but he gave feedback to prove that the Warriors made the right decision to keep him at the trade deadline.
Dream chasing Green, if Curry is the core of the offensive end, then Green is the absolute pillar of the Warriors' defense, he gives people a sense of ubiquity on the defensive end, both can make up for the outside line, and can return to the three-second zone at any time to protect the Warriors' basket, the Warriors can occupy a height disadvantage, defensive efficiency has been at the level of the middle and upper reaches, Green is definitely the key. Today, Green shot 3 of 5, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and personally cut 8 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of +19 on the court.
Kuminga, to be honest today, Kuminga's efficiency is not very high, he is a little anxious, Cole specially arranged for him to singled Reeves, Kuminga is a little anxious to prove himself, which is counterproductive. At the data level, Kuminga shot 5 of 12, 1 of 3 three-pointers, he got 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and his performance was slightly mediocre.
Podzemski, I have to admit that Podemski's ball quotient is at the same level as Curry and Green, otherwise he would not be able to squeeze out Klay's starting position as a rookie in the non-lottery area, which even Poole couldn't do before. Today, Podemski shot 3 of 12 and 2 of 6 three-pointers, and he was not very efficient, and he got 10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 turnovers, but it can be seen from the rebounding that Podemski is the most suitable guard for the Warriors' small lineup. Good judgment, decisive offense, able to grab rebounds, fight **, not afraid of confrontation, the key is to be smart.
On the bench, TJD was the biggest shining player, he only played 15 minutes, but with an efficiency of 8 of 10, he cut down 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and successfully completed the task. Klay was very inefficient today, shooting 1-of-9 from the field, 1-of-4 from three-point range, and only got 3 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, but he did play reasonably, and when the opportunity came out, he couldn't shoot, so there was no way. The rest of the other role players are also performing in a decent way, and it is not known whether they can do it, but at least when it comes to the icing on the cake, they can just make mistakes.
