Golden State Warriors: Offensive Struggles

The Warriors struggled offensively, shooting 36.8% from the field (35/95) and a dismal 20.0% from three (6/30). Missing Curry, Green, Kuminga, Wiggins, and others, they relied on Buddy Hield and bench players but couldn’t keep pace.

• Buddy Hield (SG): 17 points, 6/14 FG, 3/7 3PT, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, -10, 32 MIN. Hield, a former Pacer, led Golden State with a dunk and fastbreak layup in the fourth, but his impact wasn’t enough.
• Pat Spencer (PG): 12 points, 5/10 FG, 1/3 3PT, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, -8, 24 MIN. Spencer’s open three and transition dunk kept the Warriors within 10 in the fourth.
• Quinton Post (PF, Bench): 9 points, 3/6 FG, 1/2 3PT, 3 rebounds, -6, 18 MIN. Post’s three-pointer in the fourth made it a four-point game briefly, but Indiana responded.

• Brandin Podziemski (SG): 6 points, 2/8 FG, 0/3 3PT, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, -14, 28 MIN. Podziemski’s shooting woes reflected Golden State’s offensive struggles.
• Trayce Jackson-Davis (C): 8 points, 3/5 FG, 6 rebounds, -10, 22 MIN. Jackson-Davis, questionable with an ankle injury, was efficient but limited.

The Warriors converted 5/12 third downs (41.7%) and committed 14 turnovers, with their 0/7 three-point shooting in the first quarter setting a poor tone. They left eight runners on base and went 2/6 with runners in scoring position.

Golden State Warriors: Defensive Struggles

• Buddy Hield: 1 steal, but limited defensive impact against Indiana’s guards.
• Pat Spencer: 1 steal, but the bench-heavy lineup couldn’t slow Indiana’s offense.

Golden State Warriors: Special Teams

• Jake Bates (K): 2/2 FT, as Golden State shot 20/24 from the free-throw line (83.3%). Their free-throw accuracy couldn’t offset their poor shooting.
