Three things learned as Golden State Warriors suffer defeat to Indiana Pacers

The Golden State Warriors suffered another defeat, this time against the Indiana Pacers with a score of 123-111 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

It was the Warriors' fifth defeat in the last eight fixtures which left them in the 10th position in the Western Conference with just 36 wins and 33 defeats.

We are bringing you a list of three things which were evident from the Warriors' performance in the match against the Pacers on Friday.

The Warriors had things under control till the start of the third quarter. It was that time when the Pacers took control of the game as they finished the quarter with 36 points, 15 more than the losing side which proved to be the difference on the night.

The importance of Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins has been quite important for the Warriors in the second half of the season. When both are on song, things look better for the side. But that was not the case on Friday as both had a rather slow night.

Kuminga ended up registering just 11 points to go with eight rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes on the court. On the other hand, Wiggins registered just eight points with five rebounds and one assist after playing 22 minutes.

Warriors defensive unit has been a cost of concern throughout the campaign and Friday was no different. The Pacers had too much space to play with around the arc which gave them the luxury to hit the opponents when it mattered the most. With the playoffs fast approaching, manager Steve Kerr will have a big job at hand to improve the Warriors defensive unit’s performance.
