This is the Warriors’ record in this preseason, and last night, Steve Kerr‘s players dominated the Pistons, without Stephen Curry or Draymond Green.
An easy success (111-93) which confirmed that the team had a formidable 3-point strike force with 18 winning baskets at 46% skill. Cade Cunningham’s teammates exploded in the first quarter, losing 31-17, with the Warriors 6 out of 7 from distance after twelve minutes. Another interesting stat: the 31 assists for 40 baskets.
De’Anthony Melton, Buddy Hield and Lindy Waters III take advantage of the fast game, and the vision of Brandin Podziemski, to shoot in very good conditions. Under the boards, Trayce Jackson-Davis dominated Jalen Duren with a nice “double-double” and three blocks. The young inside has sure hands, and it is an ideal launching pad to project himself forward.
On the Detroit side, there is nothing to take away from the first half, played without rhythm or automatisms. The symbol of this terrible first half is Tim Hardaway Jr, completely out of the picture. Since the start of the preseason, he is 3 of 21 on shots. A real crisis of confidence.
The Warriors will play their last game against the Lakers, and Steve Kerr has warned that Andrew Wiggins will be in uniform.
