79 points + 10 assists! Clippers set a humiliating record, Curry is happier than Harden, Butler reaches milestone

The NBA regular season continues, and the Los Angeles Clippers go to an away game to challenge the Golden State Warriors. The Clippers' average age reaches 30, ranking first in the NBA; the Warriors' average age reaches 28.7, ranking second in the NBA. In this game, the Warriors took a double-digit lead early in the first quarter and firmly controlled the situation. In the second quarter, Kawhi stepped forward to take over the game. The Clippers won by 11 points in a single quarter and took the lead in one fell swoop. Changing sides and fighting again, Yong Sanfeng came as promised and bloodbathed the Clippers 32-14 in a single quarter. In the final quarter, the Warriors widened the point difference to 20+, and the Clippers surrendered early. In the end, the Clippers lost to the Warriors 79-98.

The two oldest teams in the NBA met in a battle of wits and courage. It was not only a contest of strength and experience, but also a contest of lineup depth. However, the Clippers lost ugly, like a piece of loose sand! After the whole game, only 10 of the Clippers' 30 sports goals were completed through assists. On the other hand, 24 of the Warriors' 39 sports goals were completed through assists. The Clippers have two god-level point guards in Harden and Paul. Rather than being stuck in a cycle of going it alone, it’s better to say that the Clippers role players really can’t make shots - Jones is 1 for 6, Bogdan is 1 for 5, Batum is 1 for 4, and Lopez is 1 for 6. Kawhi and Harden have to choose to go it alone, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred! After the whole game, the Clippers shot only 36.6% in sports games, and made 6 of 33 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 18.2%. In comparison, the Warriors made 17 of 45 shots from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of 37.8%.

The Clippers only scored 79 points in the game, especially in the second half, when they only scored 30 points. How can they win this game? In the words of fans, in this era when 13 teams in the league average 120+ points per game, the Clippers only scored 79 points in the game, which is simply a shame! The Clippers set multiple shameful records in one battle! According to statistics, 79 points is the Clippers' lowest score in the past four years; the Clippers only had 10 assists in the game, the lowest since April 2021; the Clippers are the first NBA team in the past seven seasons to have 10 assists and score less than 80 points in a single game. In another statistic, the Clippers had won 7 consecutive victories against the Warriors. After this game, this record will also expire.

The Clippers collapsed in the second half, and Harden is not to blame! In this game, the Warriors had a bright start, and Harden also made many good shots, but his teammates really couldn't make shots. He had to go all out and scored 20 points in the half. Many people thought that Harden would not be able to score 40+ in the whole game. But in the second half of the game, Harden was completely invisible, shooting 0 for 3 and no results! After the game, Harden played 31 minutes, making 6 of 15 shots (1 of 5 three-pointers), 7 of 7 free throws, 20 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 3 turnovers. According to statistics, this is the first time in the past 10 months that Harden has not provided more than 1 assist. After the game, Tyronn Lue pointedly pointed out: Harden ran out of energy in the third quarter, and he took the initiative to leave the game in the first half.

Harden is tired and struggling, but Curry is much happier than him! In this campaign, Curry only played 25 minutes, making 7 of 15 shots (2 of 8 three-pointers), 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 19 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals. The plus-minus on the field was +16. Curry was reserved in the first half and didn't exert much effort, but in the second half, Curry scored 12 points on 4-of-6, which was fatal! It is worth mentioning that Curry scored less than 20 points in two consecutive games, but the Warriors easily won two consecutive games back-to-back. This also reflects that Curry's helper is more reliable. The Warriors have not fought such a prosperous battle for a long time.

Butler is indispensable to the Warriors' ability to win so easily! In this campaign, Butler played 31 minutes, made 9 of 12 shots (3 of 4 three-pointers), scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, with a plus-minus value of +34. Especially in the third quarter, Butler scored 10 points without any miss, and teamed up with Curry to direct Yong San's madness. At the same time, Butler also achieved a new milestone. According to statistics from the NBA's official website, after this campaign, Butler's regular season career total points reached 16,005 points, officially crossing the 16,000-point mark. At the same time, Butler's total career points surpassed Stoudemire to rank 128th in NBA history, and is also 23rd in active service! In another statistic, Butler is the first player in Warriors history to score at least 20+5+5 back-to-back with a 75% shooting rate. This is Butler, so awesome. With him here, Curry no longer has to fight alone. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
