The Warriors shooting struggles continue to haunt them since Steph Curry's injury. They shot only 43.4% from the field. From the 3PT line, they managed 7-29 in the entire match which is way off from what is normally expected from them.

Some of the shooting struggles for the Warriors can be attributed to the ball movement. They are missing their two best playmakers in Steph and Draymond and that is affecting the ball movement. There is also not a lot of great off-ball movements. Most of the time there are just isolation plays designed for either Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Kevin Durant only shot 1-5 from the deep and Klay also had an average 3-8 performance from the deep. Both are shooting around 32% from the three-point line for the season which is way below their career average.

The Warriors outshoot their opponents way better than others. They need to find their shooting touch to get out of this slump.
