Warriors tip, prognosis & odds 01/12/2022″>Stephen Curry made the show against the Golden State, ok Thompson's return. They worry Green and Wiseman – OA Sport”>Knicks, dropping one of the actions of the night. Poor Julius Randle was thus badly displayed by the triple champion… Fortunately for the interior, it was his people who left with the victory in their pocket.
If we had to find a common point between Golden State and New York, we could say that the two franchises remained totally inactive during the day of the transfer market. Apart from that, however, it is difficult to compare them as the sports results are diametrically opposed. The Warriors are second in the West behind the Suns, while the Knicks are not even in a position to play the Play-In (25-31, 12ᵉ in the East).
Quite a gap therefore, which made the victory of the men of the Big Apple against the Dubs all the more surprising (116-114). However, Tom Thibodeau’s players had to face a Stephen Curry all fired up, author of 35 points and 10 assists. Clumsy behind the arc (5/16), the Chief was on the other hand much more effective close to the circle. He notably allowed himself this violent crossover on poor Julius Randle, defending on him:

Dirty humiliation for the MIP in title, which finds the four irons in the air while the triple champion was going to score quietly. This action also had the merit of giving last strength to the Californians, then led by 12 points with two minutes remaining. They finally failed by a short head, especially because in front, Randle was also in shape with 28 points, 16 rebounds and 7 offerings.
It was also perhaps the best performance of the season for the ex-Laker, at the bottom of the hole in 2021-22 after a flamboyant last exercise. Not only are his numbers at half mast, but he has also alienated a large part of the New York public with his frankly detestable attitude. His franchise has not separated from him at the trade deadline, it is now a question of putting on a good figure until this summer. The meeting against GS was a first successful step in this direction:
Bad luck for Steph Curry, this very high-flying action did not allow the Warriors to fight back and win against New York. A rather frustrating defeat, especially since Phoenix also won against Milwaukee.
