8 three-pointers broke the record, and the Warriors came out on top! Curry welcomed 3 major benefits after scoring 95 points in two games

Exploded! Hitting 8 three-pointers in a single game broke the record, and Moody finally came out! The Warriors rebounded with three consecutive victories, and Curry, who scored 95 points in the past two games, also welcomed three major benefits.

The Warriors rebounded with 3 consecutive wins

After beating the Spurs to win 2 consecutive games in the previous game, the Warriors faced off against the Pelicans, one of the few losers in the Western Conference this season. As you can imagine, the Warriors, who have been in hot form recently, easily defeated the Pelicans 124-106 and won 3 consecutive victories.

After winning 3 consecutive victories, the Warriors' record improved to 9 wins and 6 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. They have temporarily overcome a small difficulty.

What’s more gratifying than the 3-game winning streak is that Moody, the Wizards, finally came out and broke the record with 8 three-pointers in a single game. Curry, who had previously scored 46 points and 49 points in two games and scored 95 points in two games, finally won the victory and welcomed the three major benefits.

Pros 1: Moody came out

As the 14th pick in 2021, Moody has always been ignored by Cole. Whether it is the opportunity to appear, or the distribution of ball rights and roles, he will always lag behind the physically talented Kuminga. However, Moody continues to grow in the face of adversity, and he shined in this game and had a career night.

Moody started with full firepower. In the first quarter, he scored 7 of 8 three-pointers and scored 21 points, which set the tone for the game early. In the game, Moody made 10 of 16, 8 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block. His scoring and three-pointers hit career highs.

With this performance, Moody became the second player in Warriors history besides Curry to deliver at least 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and 8 three-pointers in a single game, with a true shooting percentage of 88%.

At the same time, Moody hit 7 three-pointers in the first quarter, tying Curry for the third most in history. The NBA history record for three-pointers in a quarter is held by former Warriors player Klay with 9.

The performance in this game is also the epitome of Moody's hot state since the beginning of the season. So far in the new season, Moody has averaged 13.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and has averaged 3 three-pointers per game with a career-high 45.3% shooting rate.

When talking about this performance after the game, Moody said: "I put a lot of effort into this in the summer and hope to make progress. Fortunately, it seems to be effective since the beginning of the season."

Moody has scored in double figures in the past 6 games. With this performance, Moody finally conquered the picky Cole and started again in this game. Since last season, the Warriors have achieved a good record of 30 wins and 9 losses when Moody started.

From being looked down upon due to his basic physical condition at the beginning of his career, to now gradually establishing himself as a starting player, Moody, a special player, is finally coming into his own.

Pros 2: More blooms

Under the leadership of Moody, the Warriors hit a season-high 24 three-pointers in a single game. A total of 11 people made three-pointers, of which Curry only hit 1, and his 1-for-6 efficiency was the worst on the team.

This is the biggest benefit for the 37-year-old Curry. After scoring 46 points and 49 points in the first two games against strong opponents, Curry should get enough rest when facing a weak team like the Pelicans.

Curry only played 28 minutes and scored 9 points, but in the end the team still won a big victory. Only when this situation becomes the norm can this Warriors team built around an aging core truly be able to challenge for the championship.

Pros 3: It’s not that Kuminga is incompetent

During the offseason, the Warriors and Kuminga were arguing over the contract renewal issue until the training camp before they reluctantly reached an agreement. The fundamental reason why the Warriors value Kuminga so much is that Kuminga has indeed shown the inside impact and talent imagination that this aging Warriors need.

Kuminga also performed impressively at the beginning of the season, but as the schedule progressed, Kuminga gradually exposed himself and became the "ghost" in the mouths of Butler and Dream Chasing.

Excluding the game in which Kuminga was injured, in the three games after his absence, the Warriors rebounded strongly with three consecutive victories.

During this period, other young players such as Moody, Podger and Richard also performed well. Podger scored 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting. Richard also scored 9 points and 7 rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting, and each of them grabbed 5 offensive rebounds.

Whether it is the three-game winning streak or the performance of many young players, it is proved that the future of the Warriors does not necessarily depend on Kuminga. If the latter is unwilling to play for victory in a down-to-earth manner after his return, but continues to have selfish motives, then it will be a better choice to decisively send him away before the trade deadline.
