After taking the total by Nikola Vucevic and the Bulls last night, the Warriors signed their fourth loss in five games. A rather dirty setback which hinted at somewhat blatant defensive errors, coupled with a difficulty in opening the basket in sequences. Nothing worries Klay Thompson, however, who is certain to be right at the time of the Playoffs.
A match managed in a frivolous way, and a rather logical defeat in Chicago. The Warriors were a meal of choice last night for Nikola Vucevic, who equaled his career high – 43 points – and in the process sent the biggest individual performance of the season against Golden State.
In the game ? Drive opportunities too often refused by Steve Kerr’s troops, despite a good start to the game from Jeremy Lamb in the paint. The shots of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry may have been precise, they did not achieve a success to follow up after that gleaned against the Spurs. What to worry Killa Klay about a possible non-qualification in the Playoffs? No, don’t mess around.
“[Sur la crainte de potentiellement manquer les Playoffs] No no, zero. Zero. Just get us into the Playoffs in one piece, and hopefully in a good position.” –Klay Thompson
Currently eighth in the West with 21 wins for 22 losses, Stephen Curry’s clique can’t find a healthy cruising speed to start a comeback. Back to back tonight in Washington and then opposed to the Celtics on the night of Thursday to Friday, the Warriors will have to show a better version of themselves to hope to return to the Bay of San Francisco with a smile. It will also go through an Andrew Wiggins well in his sneakers, as well as a collective alchemy in better shape.
