However, Curry was once again lost in the Clippers' iron barrel, after the last game 24 shooting only 24 points, Curry this game and turned in 17 shooting only 17 points. It's rare for Curry to have a sustained weak touch, and more importantly, the Warriors' energy on the defensive end is not as committed as the Clippers. Throughout the game, the Clippers team used 9 hot pot to entertain the warriors coming from afar, and the scene was slightly atrocious. After the game, the Warriors suffered a third straight loss, which was the eighth straight road defeat against the Clippers, and the 11th straight loss in Los Angeles, where they last won in 2019.
