Although Curry and Wiggins are still missing games, facing the Trail Blazers , the Warriors still have a high probability of winning, especially at the Warriors' home court. Sometimes bloodline suppression is really mysterious.
The game started with Thompson hitting consecutively, Poole adding the icing on the cake, the two scored 29 points together in the first quarter, and the Warriors led by 16 points after the first quarter. I thought the Warriors could easily defeat the Trail Blazers, but the second and third quarters were simply a nightmare for the Warriors.
Trail Blazers Lillard and A-Simmons continued to fire, and the Warriors frequently lost ground inside. In addition, the Warriors' home game was like an away game. After three quarters, the Warriors fell behind by 8 points. The Warriors at home only made 14 free throws, while the Trail Blazers challenged on the road 23 times. The referee blew the whistle as soon as the Warriors started to gain momentum.
The Warriors were struggling to chase points in most of the final moments of the fourth quarter. Fortunately, Poole and Clay hit consecutive hits to help the Warriors take a 12-0 lead. At the critical moment, DiVincenzo stole Lillard and then hit a three-pointer to help the Warriors defend their home court. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 118-112 with difficulty.
Poole carried the offensive banner in this game, scoring 41 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. In the last quarter, Poole also sounded the counterattack horn, scoring 11 points in the final quarter. But the seven mistakes were particularly eye-catching, including inexplicable passing errors and back-hand errors. Poole really made people love and hate him.
Thompson maintained a good level today, scoring 31 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. He scored 15 points in the first quarter to help the Warriors open up the situation, scored 13 points in the third quarter to help the Warriors stabilize the situation, and also scored three points at a critical moment in the fourth quarter.
DiVincenzo's performance was simply amazing. He contributed 9 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in the game. DiVincenzo was very active in fighting throughout the game and fell down more than once while fighting under the basket. And in the last moment of the game, he successfully defended Lillard, turned around and scored a three-pointer to seal the victory for the Warriors. I have to say that DiVincenzo was really too stable.
In addition, although Green did not dare to use too much force on the defensive end due to the penalty scale, he hit 2 three-pointers in this game and scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Looney scored 4 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, of which 8 offensive rebounds were particularly eye-catching. Kuminga scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. He also scored a key goal at the end, but he committed 5 fouls in the game and was blown away by the referee.
After this game, the Warriors ranked ninth in the Western Conference with a record of 19 wins and 18 losses, which is the same winning rate as the eighth-place Trail Blazers in the Western Conference (the Trail Blazers played 2 fewer games). The Warriors will have four home games in the future, and their opponents are the Eagles, Pistons , Magic and Suns .
The Warriors will welcome Wiggins back in the next game. Curry is currently recovering very quickly. The Warriors have a high probability of returning to the top eight in the Western Conference before Curry returns. Looking forward to the complete Warriors
