Leader Draymond Green spoke up, and Jordan Poole exploded to bring the Warriors past the Chicago Bulls
With the main lineup that helped the Golden Gate Warriors to the throne last season are in the best shape, Golden State is confident to win against the Chicago Bulls at the Chase Center home.
DeMar DeRozan and his teammates marched here with a rather fluctuating performance in recent times. Therefore, they are only ranked 12th in the Eastern rankings.
The first round was quite open. The two teams are constantly struggling in terms of points and neither team is willing to rise up. At the end of the half, the score was 35-33 in favor of the home team.
A great contributor to the scores that Golden State has is young player Jordan Poole. Although he only came on from the bench, he got himself 4 3-pointers in just the first half.
Entering the second half, Golden State began to accelerate with 5 consecutive points of Allstar Wiggins. Their main detonators such as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson also continuously opened fire.
Not only good, the defense of the home team is also extremely solid with leader Draymond Green always participating in hot spots.
On the other side, star Zach Lavine also committed a fourth personal foul before the end of the second half. The score difference now has reached 11 points in favor of Golden State (63-52).
After the break in the middle of the game, things did not change. Golden State has at times pulled the gap to 19 points. But with Derozan's individual efforts, the Chicago Bulls still haven't let the game go too far. At the end of the third round, Golden State temporarily led with the score 96-82.
The final round was quite dramatic. Golden State repeatedly made unnecessary turnovers and let the opponent have constant scores. The Chicago Bulls sometimes pulled the gap down to only 2 points.
But since then the home team players have returned to being themselves. Klay Thompson scored the decisive points to end the score with a 119-111 win for the Golden State players.
The MVP in this match must be Draymond Green. Although he didn't score the most points, he nearly reached a triple-double with 13 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds, showing leadership in both attack and defence.
In terms of scores, the Warriors leader is Jordan Poole with 30 points in just 23 minutes on the field. Right behind is Klay Thompson with 26 points and 6 assists.
On the other side of the line, Nikola Vucevic (23 points, 11 rebounds) and Zach LaVine (21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists) lead the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately, the fact that the pillar had a personal error and had to sit out at an important moment could not help the visitors come back.
This result helps the Golden State Warriors improve their home record to 10 wins in 11 games, becoming a solid fulcrum for Stephen Curry and his teammates.
In the next game, they will welcome the Houston Rockets tomorrow morning with the possibility of many pillars resting. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls will wrap up their tour away from home with a showdown against the Sacramento Kings, the match taking place on Monday morning (December 5).
