Gosu Sports Match Prediction: Golden State Warriors Win
An NBA game will be held between the LA Clippers and the Golden State Warriors.
First win of the season, Clippers
The LA Clippers won 109-104 in the game against Denver held on the 27th thanks to Powell’s performance. The Clippers, who recorded their first win of the season, meet the Warriors with 1 win and 1 loss.
On this day, Norman Powell led the team to victory by scoring 37 points with 7 3-point shots. Ivica Zubac also recorded a double-double with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and Harden successfully orchestrated the game with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 16 assists.
The Clippers ended the first quarter at 27-19 with Powell scoring consecutive points early in the first quarter and Harden scoring at the end of the quarter. However, as the defense became lax in the second quarter, a reversal was allowed, and the fourth quarter proceeded with a 70-71 lead. The Clippers, who made it 75-71 with back-to-back scores from Zubac and Chris Dunn, later allowed the game to come back, but celebrated the team’s first win by hitting six free throws in the last minute of the game.

Pajuk’s 2nd consecutive win, Golden State
Golden State won 127-86 in the game against Utah held on the 26th. Golden State, which has won two consecutive games since the opening season, is in second place in the Western Conference.
Stephen Curry, who started this day, showed a somewhat low 3-point shooting success rate (4/13), but was still healthy with 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists. Rather, Buddy Hield led the team to victory by scoring 27 points with 7 3-point shots, Andrew Wiggins played well with 10 points and 13 rebounds, and Poziemski scored 15 points.
Golden State hit a whopping 20 3-point shots on this day, showing its best shooting ability in name and reality. The Warriors, who were dominated by Buddy Hield from the first quarter, finished the first half with a 56-42 lead thanks to Hield’s 13 consecutive points at the end of the second quarter. The Warriors, whose scoring power did not cool down in the second half, succeeded in scoring more than 120 points for two consecutive games and won two games in a row.
Result prediction
The Clippers came close to losing against Denver even though Harden is still in good shape. It seems difficult to keep up with Golden State’s accuracy in shooting competitions.
For the Warriors, Hield’s scoring ability is fierce. After scoring 22 points and 5 rebounds in about 15 minutes in the first game against Portland, he scored a whopping 27 points in the second game, standing tall as the team’s ace. Despite not playing as a starter, he is scoring the most points on the team.
The scary thing about the Warriors is that with their deep depth, the bench members are showing as much scoring ability as the starters, allowing them to score a lot of points throughout the fourth quarter. Golden State is expected to win this game.
