Curry, the Warriors can win today. Curry played a mainstay role. Judging from the data, although Curry only has 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 turnovers, he looks very mediocre. By Curry's standards, he's not even great. However, when the Warriors were in a slump in the first half, Curry hit three three-pointers in the first quarter and scored five points and four assists in the second quarter. It was his persistence that helped the Warriors through the most difficult times. In the third quarter, the Warriors erupted en masse. Curry again made three three-pointers. His overall stats aren't top-notch, but Curry's goals are crucial. In terms of efficiency, Curry shot 9-of-22 from the field and made three-pointers. 7 out of 15. Considering it was a back-to-back battle and the Warriors' planes were malfunctioning, Curry was good enough as a 35-year-old veteran.
Kuminga, if Curry's consecutive three points in the first quarter helped the Warriors bite the difference, then Kuminga was the key to the Warriors vs. Raptors in the second quarter. He scored 13 points in six minutes of playing time in a single quarter. Scoring, every time the ball hits the basket, it shows energy and passion. Overall, Kuminga shot 9-of-19 and 0-of-2 from three-point range. In 27 minutes of playing time, he had 24 points, six rebounds, two assists and two turnovers. Now Kuminga is basically the second offensive core of the Warriors. Aside from the fact that his outside shooting wasn't certain and consistent enough, Kuminga didn't have much to say about anything else. The areas he wants to improve are also very clear.
As for Klay, Klay returned to the starting lineup after a few days due to Bodenski's absence and Wiggins yet to return. But this time, Clay didn't go up. He didn't feel good when he came up, but he didn't fight himself like before, but waited for a good opportunity to make a move. Overall, Klay shot 5-of-13 from the field today and 4-of-9 from three-point range. Most of the opportunities that should have been seized were seized. He contributed 14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 turnover. He played well both offensively and defensively.
Green, Green's offensive efficiency today was average, but he still showed a tough attitude. At the data level, Green shot 1 of 4. Cut 6 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers, filling the data column. It's clear that Green is trying to redeem himself this season. He came back from a suspension, calmer, smarter and showed a tough attitude in a different way.
Moody, to be honest, I've always thought Moody was a better defender to start with Curry than Podsky. Today, with Podemski out and Moody continuing to start. He shot 7-of-13 from the field and 5-of-5 from three-point range. 3. Got 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 turnover. His plus/minus reached a game-high +17. The Warriors need someone to help take the pressure off Curry on the defensive end. It's clear that Moody is a very high-level player on the Warriors' defensive line, both in terms of talent and defensive impact. His defense and solid outside shooting deserve to start.
Paul, to tell you the truth, Paul is the most admired man today. The 38-year-old played back-to-back matches for 24 minutes. He shot 5-of-10 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range. He had 13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. The mistake reinvigorated the Warriors' bench offense, a true master of offensive control.
The rest of the players, Truss Davies, Payton Jr., Saric , Quiñones, Rooney and others have performed quite well and are passable in efficiency. The Warriors now feel like they've got a lot of depth in their roster and a lot of depth on the bench. Anyone at the table can play. Even in the absence of Bodemski and Wiggins, the Warriors still used an 11-man rotation in this game, which is very scary.
