On March 26, Beijing time, the Warriors lost to the Hawks away from home, losing 4 of the last 5 games. Thompson scored 37 points and hit nine three-pointers to set a season high. Poole had 24 points and 10 assists, a career-high assist, scoring 20+ in 12 consecutive games, which was also the first double-double of Poole's career. Although the "Tea Soup Brothers" combined 61 points, the Warriors eventually lost the game. The Hawks led by as many as 18 points, and the Warriors narrowed the gap to 3 points in the final quarter, but they fell short. This is Curry's 10th missed game this season, and the Warriors have only achieved a record of 3 wins and 7 losses in those 10 games.
In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors quickly got into shape, scoring 42 points in a single quarter and winning 6 points against the Hawks. In this quarter, Poole scored 15 points and Thompson 11 points, and the two quickly found the feel. After Poole hit a 3+1, he knelt down to play the piano to celebrate the screen brushing the US media. However, the Hawks are not in bad shape, with four people scoring in double figures at the end of the half and playing a wave of 11-0 before the end of the first half to overtake the Warriors by two points. In the first half, Poole and Thompson each scored 22 points.
In the final stages of the first half, the Warriors' offense was already quite sluggish, with no scores at 2:13. The Hawks were even more aggressive in the third quarter, playing the Warriors 32-16 in the single quarter and entering the final quarter with an 18-point lead.
Seeing that the momentum had fallen to the Eagles' side, Thompson stepped forward, hit three consecutive points, and led the Warriors to a wave of 19-6, and Looney scored after the dunk, and the point difference was only 3 points. At the critical moment, the Hawks' Trae Young, Capela and Hurth scored consecutive points, so that the Warriors failed to complete the turnaround.
For the Warriors, it's too hard without Curry. Even the third quarter, which they were already best at, failed to continue the strength. When "brave three madness" becomes "brave three collapse", it also reflects the warrior's helplessness in lacking Curry. After all, the library has gravity that creates more opportunities for teammates. Thompson had been allowed to do so, and the Warriors still lost.
