On October 6, the NBA preseason continued, with the Warriors securing a buzzer-beater victory over the Clippers, 91-90, thanks to Walters’ last-second three-pointer, earning their first win of the preseason.
This game was mainly about observing the performance of the new additions to the team. The Warriors signed Li Kaili, Melton, and Hield this summer, and all three got their chances in this game, though their performances were not particularly eye-catching and will require further integration.
Melton started the game, playing for 12 minutes, hitting 2 out of 5 three-pointers, scoring 8 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, dishing out 1 assist, and making 1 steal, fitting well as Curry’s partner. With Thompson’s departure, Melton is a strong contender for the starting backcourt position, showcasing his shooting and defensive skills in this game.
Hield, coming off the bench, had an off night, hitting only 2 out of 7 shots, including 1 out of 5 from beyond the arc, scoring 5 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, and dishing out 1 assist; Li Kaili played for 14 minutes, hitting 1 out of 4 shots, scoring 4 points, dishing out 1 assist, and making 2 steals. Clearly, the trio’s performance had its bright spots, especially considering this was just their first game, there is still much to look forward to.
