For the quarter, Moses Moody joins the “Splash Brothers”!
« We didn’t play particularly well. Not much to comment on, other than Moses’ red-hot first quarter. » Steve Kerr will therefore retain at least one positive element moving his Warriors to the Pelicans floor : the first quarter of the fire Moses Moody.
In a game in which the Warriors lost 21 possessions and where Stephen Curry (9 points on 2/11 shooting) and Draymond Green (8 points on 3/13 shooting) suffered in terms of skill, the latter started the formation very well. It was on a streak in which Draymond Green missed several “tip-inovs” that Moses Moody made his first game-winning basket of the night, after being served up by Stephen Curry.
This first open shot for him was the first in a long series, which opposing defenses will regularly forget. At least at the beginning of the quarter, because the Pelicans finally realized that the guard was on fire: 21 points with seven three-pointers!
Only Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have done the same — twice each — in franchise history. In the entire history of the NBA, this has happened only 33 times.
MOSES MOODIE.
STEPHEN CURRY.
CLAITH THOMPSON.The only Warriors to make 7 3-pointers in a quarter!

The 23-year-old, who was already shooting 42% from distance prior to this matchup, scored another game-winning basket later to push his total to 8/12 – as many field goals as… the entire opposing team (8/29) – for 32 points (10/16 total). This total is also a career best.
Family “curse” broken
« I’ve had a few games like that in the G-League, sure, but I’ve also had some where I felt as good as I did in the NBA. This is actually the first time I’ve made eight triples. I’ve already made seven. I made seven 3-point shots like 30 times in my life “, he exaggerates.
Moses Moody adds: I’ve done it many times, but I have an uncle who told me when I was young that the most he used was eight. So I’ve been trying to get there all my life. I think he cursed me. I never got there. I’ll probably give him this jersey or something. »
The “curse” was therefore lifted for Moses Moody who approached Klay Thompson’s absolute record of 9 game-winning points in one night January 2015 against the Kings. A moment that Steve Kerr, used to seeing such eruptions, will not forget.
« This is what every athlete is looking for: this zone. (…) Regardless of the name, the mind and body are aligned, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Obviously we’ve seen Steph do this a million times and Clay too, but it’s really fun to watch when it happens because these guys work so hard. And there is so much pressure and stress on them. You could see Moses smile a little after each of his punches. It was magnificent to see », qualifies the coach.
