San Francisco: The Warriors are in a tough spot. They’ve lost seven of their last nine games, and it’s clear they need a boost. So, they made a move and brought in Dennis Schröder from the Nets. This change became official just recently.
Looking back at their loss to the Nets a few weeks ago, it’s easy to see why they wanted Schröder. He’s stepping in for the injured De’Anthony Melton, whose absence has really hurt the team. Coach Steve Kerr has pointed out that Melton’s offensive skills are missed just as much as his scoring.
Andrew Wiggins is doing well, hitting a career-high 42.7% from three-point range, and Jonathan Kuminga has been scoring a lot lately. But neither of them can create shots like Schröder can.
In that game against the Nets, the Warriors had a solid lead but couldn’t hold on. Kerr mentioned feeling a lack of energy and focus, which allowed the Nets to come back and take the win. Schröder was a standout that night, scoring 31 points and really making a difference.
He was on fire, especially in the fourth quarter. He quickly cut into the Warriors’ lead and even took the game over while Steph Curry was on the bench. By the time Curry came back in, the Warriors were trailing.
Schröder scored 17 points in the fourth quarter alone, showing just how impactful he can be. The Warriors have struggled in the fourth quarter lately, ranking near the bottom in points scored. They need someone who can execute and create plays, and that’s exactly what Schröder brings to the table.
With this recent addition, the Warriors are hoping to turn things around and find the spark they’ve been missing. It’s a crucial time for them, and they can’t afford to wait any longer for answers.
