Warriors avert near disaster home court, fend off Hornets
The Warriors opened the second half with a 5-0 run to go up by 13 and force the Hornets to take a timeout and regroup. Golden State led by as many as 18, but the Hornets fought back. The Hornets went on a 17-4 run early in the fourth, capped off by a P.J. Washington 3, to make it 96-95.
Later in the fourth, Gordon Hayward hit a 3 to knot the game up at 101. But Jonathan Kuminga stepped up in a big way. He scored six straight points for Golden State. His final two-handed slam put the Warriors up six with 21 seconds left and came off a feed from Poole who carved through the lane.The Warriors overcame a shoddy shooting night, going a paltry 8-of-37 from 3, to win a game they should’ve won in a more commanding fashion. They have Thompson to thank.
The Warriors shot the ball well in the first quarter, shooting 54.2% from the field. But after making six of their first 10 attempts from beyond the arc, Golden State went uncharacteristically cold from deep, missing 17 consecutive 3s from the end of the first to late in the third. Thompson ended the drought, draining a 3 with at the 1:22 mark of the third to put Golden State up 89-75.
After starting the night making six of their first 10 attempts from beyond the arc, the Warriors went uncharacteristically cold from deep, missing 17 consecutive shots from downtown spanning from the end of the first quarter up until the 1:22 mark of the fourth. Though Curry is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, Andrew Wiggins’ return is on the horizon. He’s been cleared to come back, but is out sick and expected to miss Wednesday’s game against the Jazz, too. Meanwhile, the Warriors will hope to make the necessary adjustments to not give a team like the Hornets a fighting chance like they did Tuesday.
