In the end, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Jazz 140-137 away, let's take a look at the specific performance of the players!
Today is the first time Klay has played as a substitute since 721 starts. The reason is that yesterday against the Clippers, he was a criminal. But although this was a substitute game, Clay actually knew his shame and broke out.
He played seven minutes in the first quarter, shooting 4-of-7 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point range, finishing with 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. In the first half, he was 7-of-11 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range, and he had 17 points, three rebounds and two assists.
In the second half, he didn't lose his firepower, and in the third quarter, he came up in microwave mode, playing 2+1 plus 4 three-pointers in a row, and scored 18 points in 6 of 7 in a single quarter, helping the team almost spoil the game.
In the whole game, Klay played 28 minutes, shooting 13-of-22, 7-of-13 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, and blasted 35 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
With these 35 points, Clay's career total points also exceeded 15,000 points.
Curry has hit more than seven three-pointers in his last four games, and his teammates are so good today that he is the only one who is very stretched.
In the first half, Curry was 3-of-7, 1-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with just nine points, five assists and one steal. In the third quarter, due to the hot hands of his teammates, he only made 2 shots and handed out 4 assists in a single quarter.
After he came back in the final quarter, he didn't feel good, but he made two free throws and two hits at the final critical moment to kill the game. In this game, Curry played 35 and a half minutes, shooting 4 of 14, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and contributed 16 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists.
The record of hitting seven three-pointers in a row was broken.
As the star of the house, Markkanen really pulled his hips like crazy in the first three quarters today. After scoring the first goal, he started to hit the iron like crazy. In the first half, he was 1 of 11 and only had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
In the third quarter, he was 0-of-2 in a single quarter, scoring 2 points only on free throws. But in the last quarter, Markkanen stopped pulling his crotch and played the entire fourth quarter. It's a pity that he didn't score three points in a row at the critical moment, and Marca shot 6 of 22 in the whole game, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and got a double-double of 20 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
The offense of the star of the house is not strong, but the Jazz backcourt double-shot Sexton and George, the two can be said to be standing to death, teamed up to blow up the Warriors.
Sexton punches the punch
In the first half, Sexton scored and passed the ball, shooting 3-of-6 from the field, 2-of-4 from three-point range, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points and 6 assists.
In the second half, he continued to frantically storm the basket, and in the final quarter, he and Markkanen almost completed an 18-point comeback. It's a pity that the final draw and three points hit the iron, and it is a pity to lose.
In the whole game, Sexton played 34 minutes, shooting 10-of-18 from the field, 3-of-8 from three-point range, and 12-of-13 from the free-throw line, finishing with 35 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists.
George hit a career-high nine three-pointers
George can be said to have stolen Curry's three-point skill set today. In the first half, he scored 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field and added three assists.
In the game, George played 41 minutes, shooting 11-of-22, 9-of-16 three-pointers, 2-of-3 free throws, and scoring a career-high 33 points, plus 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.
