In their last three games, despite showing offensive prowess with an average of 114 points per game, defensive lapses have cost them victories. The team has allowed an average of 120 points against them, highlighting a need for tighter defense. Their field goal percentage has been impressive at approximately 49 percent across these games, and they've been particularly effective from beyond the arc with a commendable three-point shooting percentage of around 39 percent.


The Warriors' assist-to-turnover ratio shows room for improvement; they've averaged about 1.6 assists for every turnover in recent outings. Rebounding is another area where they could gain an edge; they've been outrebounded by opponents in two out of their last three matches.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Golden State to capitalize on their home-court advantage at Chase Center and make strides towards better defensive play and ball control. With high-scoring quarters being a trend but not always translating into wins due to turnovers and defensive issues, focusing on maintaining possession and stopping opponent scoring runs will be crucial.
