Warriors news: The referee’s report is out, Curry rebounds with confidence, and a difficult schedule is coming

On November 3, three pieces of news came out about the Golden State Warriors. Fans and friends who care about the Warriors should not miss it.

Referee report released

Yesterday, the Warriors with a full lineup faced the Pacers away from home with many main players missing from the rotation. I originally thought this would be a one-sided defeat of the Warriors without any suspense, but I didn't expect that the game trend and results were completely different from what people expected. In the first three quarters, the two teams played back and forth, with the points difference leading alternately; in the early part of the fourth quarter, the Warriors had a 10-point advantage, but then suddenly lost power and were hit by the Pacers with a scoring climax that directly reversed the situation. With Sika's three-pointer and Quincy Jackson's mid-range shot, the Pacers upset the Warriors 114:109. Today, the NBA officially released the referee's report for the last two minutes of the game. The results showed that there were 1 wrong call and 2 missed calls, and the Warriors suffered twice.

With 1 minute and 43 seconds left in the game, Nesmith advanced with the ball and dropped the ball after encountering Green's defense. The referee called Green for a foul. The referee's report pointed out that Green completed the steal first and then touched Nesmith's arm as a joint action and should not have been called a foul.

With 56 seconds left in the game, the Warriors and Pacers were tied at 109, and Butler missed a free throw. The referee's report pointed out that before Butler took the free throw, Pacers player Isaiah Jackson had already entered the line early, and a violation should have been whistled, and Butler made another free throw.

With 44 seconds left in the game, the Pacers launched an attack. The referee's report pointed out that Green stayed in the penalty area for too long without a clear defender around him and should have been whistled for a three-second defensive violation, giving the Pacers a free throw opportunity.

Although it can be seen from the referee's report and the number of free throws in the game (22 free throws for the Warriors and 28 free throws for the Pacers) that the Warriors suffered some losses in the whistles, this is definitely not the reason for their loss. After all, the Pacers had five main players including Haliburton who did not play in rotation. In other words, the Warriors lost more because they underestimated their opponents and did not show enough energy and concentration in the game.

Curry's confident rebound

In the Warriors' loss to the Pacers yesterday, Warriors star Stephen Curry performed very poorly and had his worst performance of the season. Curry played 29 minutes in the game, making 8 of 23 shots, 4 of 16 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 24 points, 2 assists and 1 steal. He made as many as 5 turnovers, and his -21 plus/minus ranked last in the game. It is not difficult for fans who have watched the game to find that Curry played in a hazy state, as if he was sleepwalking, unable to attack and defend. Especially with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors replaced Curry, which directly became a turning point in the game. The Pacers seized the opportunity to achieve a reversal. To put it bluntly, if the Warriors could put Curry on the bench when he was out of shape at the last moment yesterday, the Warriors would have probably won.

Today, Curry accepted an interview with the media after the team's training and confidently stated that he will rebound. Curry said: "Yesterday I played very poorly, my organization was not in place, and my offense was also very bad. This is definitely a night that requires self-reflection. But I think there is nothing wrong with my shot selection, it is just that I did not invest. I will still go out with confidence next time." Let’s wait and see.” In Curry’s 16-year career, he has almost never had two consecutive downturns. Coupled with his superb shooting ability and strong self-adjustment ability, Curry will most likely achieve a strong rebound in the next game.

The difficult schedule is coming

Today, the Warriors self-media "The Warriors Talk" released the Warriors' next 10 game schedule and asked: "How many games can the Warriors win in the next 10 games? 8 of them are away games." On November 5, after the Warriors beat the Suns at home, they will first play the Kings and Nuggets on the road, and then return to the home court to play the Pacers. Then they will start six consecutive away games, facing the Thunder, Spurs (twice in a row), Pelicans, Magic and Suns.

It should be noted that 4 of the 10 opponents the Warriors face are the top eight teams in the East and West. The Thunder and Spurs are the teams with the best records in the league. Teams such as the Pelicans, Suns, Kings, and Pacers have worse records than the Warriors, but their strength is not bad. In a real fight, the Warriors have no absolute chance of winning. For the Warriors, the next 10 games will be very difficult. If they cannot survive this period, it will be very difficult to catch up later. So how many wins do you think the Warriors will win in the next 10 games?
