Not even 50 Curry points prevented the warriors from being tortured

There is no way: Warriors don’t conquer the road. It’s palpable desperation, but it’s a verifiable reality for the current champ, who hasn’t hit the switch far from the Chase center, where he is, worthy of poetic coincidence, one of the best teams in the NBA. Further, the balance at home increases to 29-7, and on the way it does the same, but in a negative way: 7-27. No team in North American competition has such a clear distinction in terms of leaving home disaster and having such a gap that you can work out later in front of your fans. A problem that they have to solve as soon as possible if they want to compete in the playoffs and they have options, which they do, to re-validate the title they won last year. Incidentally the fourth of his remarkable dynasty; The last league witnessed by the best league in the world in its long history.

The Warriors, who arrived in Los Angeles with news of an injury to Andre Iguodala who may never play in the NBA again because he will have surgery, fell to the Clippers (134-126) in a stellar, giant, game that has everything but him, Clear, they lost. And they did it despite 50 points from Stephen Curry, who was determined to lead his team to what would have been their first away win since Jan. 31, against the Thunder and at Oklahoma City. Since then, 9 consecutive losses on the road, a complete disaster could not be avoided by the magic of Curry, who boosted his exhibition with a stunning shot: 20-of-28 from the field and 8-of-14 from triples. With 6 assists and 2 steals. Great performance, 21 goals in the third period where he only missed 2 shots (9 of 11) and 9, with 4 assists, in the last one he played just over 7 minutes and was better defending, but was able to distribute more by taking advantage From dual defences: no luck.

Steve Kerr’s team tried in unison, but it wasn’t all right: Draymond Green did a little bit of everything (8 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, but 4 steals), Klay Thompson was erratic in shooting (6 of 16). , with 3 of 8 on threes), but hit 15 points, Kevon Looney was good under the boards (6 + 13, with 5 offensive rebounds) and Jordan Paul contributed 19 points and 5 assists off the bench, but lost 4 more . That was the key for the Warriors, who tried, entrusted themselves to Curry, but were worse at almost every way even though they were alive in the end: 16 losses, 44-36 in fighting for rebounding and 30-28 in assists. And they didn’t even outpace their competitors in the trilogy, at 47% each. And they were able to win: trailing only 6 at the end of the third quarter (99-93), they were still alive with just over 5 minutes remaining (118-112). But there is no way. Far from home, there is never.
