Curry couldn't get the ball, the Warriors' Anderson scored from the basket, and Payton Jr. hit a key three-point shot to lead by another five points. Morant played the key iron, curry broke through the layup, won the game.
The Warriors really want to beat the Grizzlies, after all, the previous warriors have lost and need to get back on the court. And in the absence of two starters, the rest of the Warriors stepped forward. Payton Jr. started, became a surpriser, scored many times, played decisively, and this time he played the role of Pooler, and played really well. And Porter is also working both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, playing equally well, and doing a good job on the defensive end. The best game is naturally Curry, who was heavily defended this time, but he could still get a high score, making it difficult for the Grizzlies to defend.
Curry has found his form, even if the Grizzlies are close to the defense, Curry can still stage an explosion, and the personal three-point shooting rate has finally recovered. In the past few games, Curry's three-point shooting rate has been a bit low and inefficient. This time, Curry no longer threw randomly, and played more calmly and decisively. Curry's three points are crazy! Not only do you shoot more, but you also have a high shooting percentage, which is higher than the two-point shooting rate of many people. What's even rarer is that Curry also got a lot of free throw opportunities this time. It is because of Curry's outbreak that the Warriors can take the initiative. And at the critical moment, Curry also broke out, which is to grab Durant's MVP!
