Warriors thrillingly defeated the Trail Blazers . The Warriors once led by 18 points in this game. However, in the second half of the game, the defensive end was not strong, and the team's mistakes increased. The Warriors were overtaken by their opponents and even fell behind their opponents by double digits. But at the critical moment, the Warriors relied on their excellent defensive performance to finally reverse the Trail Blazers and win four consecutive games.
In this game, with 4 minutes and 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers led 110-102 by 8 points. But in the subsequent time, they only relied on Lillard to score and scored 2 points. The Warriors launched a 16-2 climax and eventually lost the game.
The biggest surprise for the Warriors during their four-game winning streak was their defense. The defensive combination with DiVincenzo, Kuminga, Green as the core allowed the Warriors to regain the championship-level defense of last season.
The reason why the Warriors had a poor record at the beginning of the season was the collapse of perimeter defense. After losing players such as Payton Jr. and Porter, the Warriors' defensive problems were exposed. What is even more frightening is that the defensive disadvantages of Poor were infinitely magnified. But with DiVincenzo's recovery and the rise of Kuminga, the Warriors' perimeter defense has regained its oppressiveness. With this outside barrier and Green's defensive ability, the Warriors' suffocating defense is back.
Although the Warriors have not yet entered the top eight positions, the Warriors who have regained their defense are definitely not at the ninth level in the Western Conference today. Wiggins is about to return, Curry is also recovering well from his injury, and with the recent progress of two young people, Wiseman, the Warriors have slowly come out of the slump at the beginning of the season. As long as this Warriors is healthy, the playoffs will definitely be a championship-level team.
