On January 6, 2025, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors suffered a crushing defeat at home, losing 99-129 to the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors experienced a massive 30-point loss throughout the game. Despite fielding their full starting lineup, the team's poor three-point shooting and overall performance left them unable to mount a comeback against the Kings' onslaught, falling behind early and ultimately unable to recover. Following this defeat, the Warriors' record dropped to 18 wins and 17 losses, temporarily ranking ninth in the Western Conference, with a significant gap from the playoff spots. The Warriors' offensive core in this game was still Stephen Curry, but even so, the team's overall performance did not meet expectations. The Warriors' three-point shooting accuracy was disappointingly low, with only 12 out of 35 attempts finding the mark, directly impacting their offensive rhythm. Curry played for 35 minutes in the game, making 8 out of 12 shots for 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 steal. He shot 4 out of 8 from beyond the arc and made all 6 free throws. Although his individual performance was commendable, the team's overall mistakes and poor three-point shooting made it difficult for the Warriors to reverse the outcome. Notably, despite the Warriors' crushing defeat, Curry set an unprecedented record in this game. He has now completed 238 games in his career where he achieved the "50-40-90" shooting percentages (50% field goal, 40% three-point, 90% free throw), surpassing Reggie Miller to become the record holder in NBA history for this achievement. Miller accomplished this feat 236 times in his…

NBA regular season is in full swing, and the league's landscape is taking shape, with the Wild West reaching new heights! So far, the Thunder lead with a strong record of 24 wins and 5 losses, followed closely by the Grizzlies (22-10), Rockets (21-10), and Mavericks (20-11) forming the second echelon, with no more than one game difference between adjacent teams; the third echelon is even more brutal, with seven powerhouse teams including the Clippers (18-13), Lakers (17-13), Nuggets (16-13), Timberwolves (16-14), Spurs (16-15), Suns (15-15), and Warriors (15-15) forming a melee, with no more than 0.5 games difference between adjacent teams! In other words, one of these 11 teams will ultimately be shut out of the play-in tournament! Although the Los Angeles Clippers are not particularly noticeable in the Wild West, they continue to create surprises and have a promising future! With an 18-13 record and the fourth-best defensive efficiency in the league, the Clippers have earned respect. Over the past few seasons, the Clippers have built their team around the twin stars of Leonard and George, always being championship contenders but never achieving success. This offseason, George and Westbrook left, and the Clippers retained Harden with a two-year, $70 million contract, while also bringing in role players such as Little Jones, Porter, Batum, and KJ. They embarked on a path of mediocrity. Considering that Leonard was returned by the Dream Team in the summer, no one knows when he will return or if he can regain his peak form, even though the world believes in Harden's ability to…
