In an NBA game that ended today, the Warriors defeated the Raptors 120-105, there was basically no suspense in this battle, the Warriors only trailed by 3 points in the first quarter, and the two sides played inextricably in the second quarter, and the Raptors suddenly lost power in the third quarter, and the Warriors took the opportunity to play the Warriors three crazy, winning 13 points in a single quarter, and the Warriors firmly controlled the situation on the court in the final quarter, and finally won the victory. In terms of statistics, Curry scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 turnovers, Kuminga 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, Moody 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Thompson 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 turnovers, Paul 13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and Dream Green 6 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers.
The Warriors are really getting better and better, you know, they once ranked 12th in the West for a long time, at that time the outside world basically thought that the Warriors had no hope this season, it was better to put it directly, but I didn't expect the season to enter the second half, the Warriors suddenly made a force, according to statistics, they have achieved a proud record of 11 wins and 2 losses in the last 13 games, or to prove the strength of the Warriors in other words, they have won 8 consecutive away games, to sum up, the Warriors are considered to be a late force, of course, there are also reasons why the Jazz and the Rockets fell off the chain. The Warriors are currently ranked 9th in the West and often swap places with the Lakers, with the 9th and 10th places playing each other in the playoffs, but the 9th has home-court advantage and the 9th and 10th play-offs have only one chance.
As long as you lose, you will be completely out, unlike the 7th and 8th play-offs, which have two lives, but the current Western landscape may change, because the 8th Mavericks lost to the Green Army today, and now the gap between the Warriors and the Mavericks is only 1Five games, obviously, this is certainly a good opportunity for the Warriors, and 8th is much better than 9th. Looking at the whole game, the Warriors have four people who are commendable for their play, first of all, Curry, the cute god felt good in the first quarter, and Barnes soared three points, when the Raptors exerted their strength, Curry once again cut 5 points in a row in response, and in the second quarter, the Warriors also relied on Curry's three-point shot to chase 55 draws, what needs to be complained about is the referee, Curry really has no whistle, and was knocked down at the beginning of the third quarter, and the referee ignored it directly.
At that time, Kerr was very angry off the court, and Curry also said that he couldn't understand, but the referee was unmoved, and in the next time, Curry shot three points again and blasted in, hammering the Raptors, and it was not over, Curry used the block to hit three points again, leading the Warriors to play the Yong Sanmad. However, from the second half of the third quarter to the end of the quarter, Curry's hand felt significantly down, and all of his 6 consecutive three-point shots were iron, and he was a bit of a wave, but fortunately, the Warriors still had Kuminga, and Thompson was also ** in the last quarter, so the Warriors withstood the Raptors' offensive. According to statistics after the game, Curry has scored 25+5+5 data for the eighth time in his career with 0 free throws, the highest record in NBA history.
In addition to Curry, Kuminga is still stable, handing over 9 of 19 shots, his impact on the interior is what the Warriors need most, facing Quickley's hands to dunk violently, dunk Bolt, score 4 points in a row on the inside, and then make a layup 2+1, it can be clearly seen that Kuminga and Curry are the two main output points of the Warriors, now think about it, at the beginning of the season, Kerr was the wrong child, if Kuminga is reused early, the Warriors' winning rate will definitely be higher. The third biggest winner is Paul, as long as he is on the court, the Warriors will play very solid and will not be counterattacked by the Raptors. Finally, there is Moody, who has become a wonder soldier for the Warriors, with a solid offense and a commendable defense, with an arm span of 2.16 meters, which can definitely be used as an outside defensive spearhead.
Paul was interviewed after the game, and he had this to say about winning: "It's tiring after playing the Knicks, but I'm telling you, we have a lot of tough guys on this team, you know, we could have made all kinds of excuses for this game today, but none of my teammates are such players, we all want to win, especially at this critical time of the season," Paul meant very well and understandably that the Warriors would not give up at any moment. Speaking about the rest of the schedule, Paul said: "But obviously, you're definitely hungry to make the playoffs, my teammates are confident in that, and as a team, I think we've got a lot of depth and we can play in a lot of different ways, try to figure out all the issues and we'll be fine." ”
Paul's point of view is very direct, the Warriors' goal is the playoffs, in addition, Paul believes that the Warriors' roster depth is quite good, don't forget that Wiggins has missed 3 games, if the mouth brother returns, then the Warriors will only be stronger, it can be seen that Paul is full of confidence. Or as mentioned earlier, the Warriors and Lakers compete with each other for rankings, the Warriors' next opponent is the Green Army, and the Lakers are the Nuggets, if both sides lose, then the Warriors are still 9th, if you have to compare, I am afraid that the probability of the Warriors winning is higher, because the Lakers have not won the Nuggets for a long time. Finally, it was reported that Wiggins was absent because he was dealing with family issues, and the Warriors gave him enough time to deal with it, and in any case, let's hope Wiggins can come back as soon as possible.
