Despite recently defeating the struggling Phoenix Suns and returning to the ranks of victory, the Golden State Warriors can only be described as performing averagely. In the first month at the start of the season, the Warriors looked like a championship-level team, but since then, they have taken a sharp turn for the worse and recently appear more like a play-in tournament-level team. Even after making a small trade and acquiring Dennis Schroder, there has been little change, with the Warriors achieving only a 2-4 record in the six games Schroder has played. The team's top star, Stephen Curry, remains at the peak of his game, often doing incredible things; rookie Jonathan Kuminga seems to have finally found the role that suits him best, with his recent performance also showing improvement; Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green's performances have basically reached their standards. However, some of the other established players in the Warriors' supporting cast, after a strong start to the season, have seen their performances plummet to the bottom, especially this season's important acquisition, Buddy Hield. Hield's performance at the beginning of the season was very impressive, with the former sixth overall pick often displaying shooting abilities from beyond the three-point line comparable to those of Klay Thompson in his prime. Even during the early part of the season when Curry missed multiple games due to injury, the Warriors relied on his offensive performance to maintain stability. Since Hield spent most of his time coming off the bench, he became a hot candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year…

The Warriors have won, but they are truly in a state of panic! After the game, Curry's words ignited public opinion: "Winning a game cannot relax our vigilance; the Warriors' crisis has just begun." This thrilling 109-105 victory over the Suns not only saw the score tightly contested until the last second but also revealed the unease and hidden concerns behind the Warriors. This match was a crucial battle for positioning between the Warriors and the Suns. Both teams had identical records of 15 wins and 15 losses before the game, ranking tenth and eleventh in the West respectively. The loser would plummet into the perilous play-in tournament. However, despite having a full squad, the Warriors had only managed three victories in their past 15 games, showing poor form; the Suns were in even worse shape, with Booker injured, Beal struggling, and Durant unable to carry the team alone. Against this backdrop, this matchup was not just a contest of scores but a life-and-death struggle. At a critical moment, Kuminga stepped up! Coming off the bench for 34 minutes, he scored a game-high 34 points along with 9 rebounds and 3 assists. He continued his hot streak from the previous game, scoring 12 points in the first quarter and another 13 in the fourth. Especially in the final few minutes, he repeatedly drew fouls and stepped up to the free-throw line, helping the team complete the comeback and secure the win. Some say that Kuminga saved the Warriors and, more importantly, saved Curry. However, Curry's performance sparked heated discussions. He…

This season, the competition in the Western Conference is more brutal than last season, with a win rate of 50% currently unable to even make it into the top eight! For example, the Phoenix Suns have a temporary record of 15 wins and 15 losses, ranking only 10th in the Western Conference, which means that Durant and Booker may not be able to make it to the playoffs at the end of this season. Obviously, this is unacceptable for the Suns. With a three-star lineup that cannot obtain rebuilding resources through the draft in the next three years, they will obviously seek an immediate way to change. According to American media "FW," if the three stars don't work, how about four stars? It is reported that the media has given the latest trade plan for the Phoenix Suns, which is proposed as: The Suns can try to send Jusuf Nurkic + the first-round pick in 2031 to the Bulls to seek a 2-for-1 trade for Nikola Vucevic! For Chicago, any plan that allows the team to rebuild faster is a good one. Therefore, this is a trade plan that has a high probability of happening, and if it ultimately meets Phoenix's wishes, congratulations to Durant in advance. Because Vucevic's arrival can allow the Suns to form a four-star lineup, and his average of 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game is enough to make the Suns favor and trust him. It is worth mentioning that Vucevic's shooting percentage this season has reached 57.8%, with a three-point shooting percentage…

The final moments of the game between the Warriors and the Suns were incredibly exciting. With just 1 minute and 59 seconds left in the game, the score was tied at 101:101. This match was as important as a playoff game, with both teams entering the contest ranked 10th and 11th in the Western Conference. The Warriors, playing back-to-back games, had rested Curry and Green in their previous game to focus on this crucial positioning battle. A victory in this game was worth double for both sides. The Suns had possession, with Jones quickly bringing the ball up the court. Schroder stood in front of him to defend. Jones reached the left 45-degree three-point line, where Durant provided a screen. Jones used the screen to break towards the basket, with Green coming over to help defend. Jones lobbed the ball high into the air, aiming for Plumlee under the basket to attempt a dunk. Kuminga tried to intercept the ball mid-air to prevent Plumlee from scoring, but the referee blew the whistle, indicating a foul on Kuminga. Almost all the Warriors players simultaneously raised their fingers, hoping the coaching staff would challenge the call. Green, Curry, and Kuminga all requested that Kerr challenge the decision, and Kerr promptly requested a review. After careful replay examination, the referees upheld the original call, awarding Plumlee two free throws, which he made, restoring the Suns' two-point lead. It was then the Warriors' turn to attack. Schroder slowly brought the ball up the court, with Kuminga receiving it before quickly passing to Green at…

On December 29, 2024, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Phoenix Suns at home with a close score of 109-105, successfully ending their three-game losing streak. The outbreak of Kuminga and Curry's return became the key to the game, while the Suns' mistakes and unstable offense ultimately led to their loss. This victory for the Warriors is not only a win but also reflects several important facts. Here is a review of the game's highlights and seven undeniable truths. Kuminga's Explosive Performance Kuminga displayed an astonishing individual ability in the game, scoring 34 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. Especially in the last quarter, his crucial scores helped the Warriors achieve a comeback. This performance proved Kuminga's growth in critical moments and showed his potential to become a core player in the future. Curry's Steady Return Despite just recovering from an injury, Curry's return still brought significant help to the Warriors. He contributed 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists throughout the game, especially with some key scores in the final quarter that helped stabilize the team's lead. Curry's presence undoubtedly enhanced the Warriors' overall offensive level. The Suns' Offensive Efficiency Falters Although the Suns have two major offensive weapons in Durant and Beal, their offensive mistakes in critical moments ultimately cost them the game. Beal and Durant showcased their powerful offensive capabilities in the first three quarters, but the Suns failed to seize the opportunity in the final moments and were eventually overtaken by the Warriors. The Warriors' Teamwork and Resilience This game also reaffirmed the Warriors' strong teamwork abilities.…

The Suns became the biggest winners because Nurkic was suspended for three games, saving the Suns 700,000.TheSunsbecamethebiggestwinnersbecauseNurkicwassuspendedforthreegames,savingtheSuns1.1 million in luxury tax expenses. Yesterday, the Suns lost 89-98 at home to the Mavericks, and Nurkic and Marshall got into a conflict, with Nurkic slapping and Marshall immediately throwing a punch. The cause was Nurkic swinging his elbow and hitting Gafford, resulting in an offensive foul call. Marshall cursed at Nurkic, who then rushed up and hit him, while Washington directly pushed Nurkic down! Despite Nurkic slapping first, why did Marshall receive more suspensions? The NBA explained that Marshall wanted to further escalate the conflict in the player's tunnel. In slow motion, it can be seen that Marshall's face took a solid slap. Although Marshall's retaliatory punch was fast, it only grazed Nurkic's ear and cheek before being pushed away. Marshall grew angrier and wanted to fight Nurkic again on the way back to the locker room, but fortunately, he was held back and no fight broke…

Surprise Upset! Curry 22 for 9, Durant 31 points + 6 turnovers, both unexpectedly injured and withdrawn, Warriors successfully avenge By Lao Kankanqiu | Edited by Lao Kankanqiu On December 29th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season welcomes a focus match in the Western Conference, with the Golden State Warriors hosting the Phoenix Suns back-to-back. This is the second encounter between the two teams this season. In the previous match, the Suns defeated the Warriors by 8 points, slightly taking the upper hand. Interestingly, the Warriors have faced Pacific Division teams with a record of 0 wins and 5 losses, without a single victory, including 0-3 against the Clippers, 0-1 against the Lakers, and 0-1 against the Suns, which is indeed somewhat restrained. More difficult is that after the Warriors topped the Western Conference, they only managed to win 3 out of the next 15 games, ranking at the bottom of the league during the same period. They currently hold a total record of 15 wins and 15 losses, ranking 11th in the West, indicating that there must be major issues within the team. Combined with Curry's previous statement to the media that if playing basketball no longer brings him joy, it would be time to retire, it is clear that the Warriors' locker room is not as calm as it appears on the outside. Similarly, the Suns have also been struggling recently, much like the Warriors' trajectory. They once topped the Western Conference standings but then Durant suffered an injury, and the team's performance plummeted. They are…
