Golden State Warriors lost by 38 points: fans miss Stephen Curry more than ever
After a surprise away win against the Toronto Raptors on Monday, the Golden State Warriors gave fans hope for a revival despite Stephen Curry being sidelined.
The Golden State Warriors made a guest at Madison Square Garden, facing the New York Knicks in high form.Without Stephen Curry due to injury, the Warriors had a few more minor problems in the squad when a number of players. pillar has signs of mild fever.
This led coach Steve Kerr to decide to increase the number of minutes for young players, letting them test the fire with the three main pillars, Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Unfortunately, this test was not effective in both attack and defense.
Jonathan Kuminga is the only young player to play well in this match, most of the rest are somewhat "suffocated" when they have to face a New York Knicks that is sublime.
The very pillars that coach Steve Kerr believes in today are also struggling. Only Jordan Poole played a relatively explosive attack, scoring 26 points but throwing 2-8 3PT.
The remaining Klay Thompson (11 points) was constantly exploited in defense and ineffective attack, Draymond Green was also helpless when his teammates repeatedly failed to finish.
Through each half, the home team created a 5-7 point gap against the Golden State Warriors before breaking through in the fourth half, winning with the final score of 132-94.
Jordan Poole is the highest scorer. Right behind him was Jonathan Kuminga's 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Moses Moody contributed 11 points (3-6 3PT) in his rare appearance in the starting lineup.
On the New York Knicks side, four different players scored at least 18 points including RJ Barrett, Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley and Jalen Brunson. Julius Randle is the remaining outstanding name with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.
This was the Knicks' eighth win in a row, helping them improve their record to 18 wins in 31 appearances. In contrast, the Golden State Warriors continue to slide away with only 3 wins in 18 games.
The ominous thing is that coach Steve Kerr and his team will have an extremely difficult match tomorrow morning (December 22), facing another high-performance team, the Brooklyn Nets.
