The Warriors lost to the Thunder by 24 points, which can be said to be a one-sided defeat. How powerless the Warriors are in this game can be seen from Curry's body language and expression. It's not that Curry doesn't want to win, but it's really difficult to win. The gap in strength between the two sides is too obvious. However, this defeat was also a game with content, which allowed the Warriors to see four facts clearly. Losing by 24 points, a big defeat, four facts can be seen clearly, Cole has been studied thoroughly, and one person is a false growth point.

The first fact is that there is a gap between the top teams in the Western Conference. In this regard, the game against the Thunder was very intuitive for everyone. What we need to know is that the Thunder are not yet full of the main lineup, but the Warriors are full of the main lineup. Even so, as long as the Thunder exerts a little strength, the game will be no longer suspense. On the other hand, the Warriors tried every means, but in the end they were unable to do anything. Therefore, the Warriors still have to keep their feet on the ground and play every game well.

The second fact is that Cole’s tactics have been thoroughly studied. Cole was very weak in this game. In fact, to put it bluntly, his tactical system was completely figured out. The pass-and-cut system that Cole is so proud of failed to work in this game and didn't work at all. In fact, the Thunder is also teaching the entire league how to defend the Warriors' passes. For Cole, the next step is to develop as many tactics as possible. After all, the Warriors' core lineup is aging.

The third fact is that Kuminga is a pseudo-growth point. Kuminga seemed to have scored 13 points in this game. He shot 6 of 9 with a good shooting efficiency. He also had 4 assists, but he made 5 turnovers. If you have been watching Warriors games, you will know that Kuminga had a total of 16 assists in the November game, but made 17 turnovers. In other words, Kuminga did not do well when it came to making shafts. So the current Kuminga cannot be considered a growth point for the Warriors.

The fourth fact is that Curry is really alone. In this game, Curry really felt the gap in the strength of the lineup, and after his decline in age, he was a little unable to break the game. To put it bluntly, Curry is currently in a state of being alone, and there are not many people who can stand up and share the pressure in high-end games. There's no way around it. With the Warriors' current lineup, in the end they can only rely on Curry. It all depends on Curry's personal touch.

For the Warriors, losing this game is actually not the end of the world. After all, this is just a regular season game. But what you also need to know is that if the Warriors want to hit higher goals this season, they still have to work harder. In addition to Curry Green and others staying healthy, role players must also complete their transformation in the remaining games. All in all, the Warriors will still appear as a spoiler.
