After defeating the Kings at home, the Golden State Warriors, who were in good shape, took a break and ushered in the challenge of the Grizzlies during the two-game losing streak.
For the Warriors, Kerr made an adjustment, and Otto Porter + Gary Payton II entered the starting lineup to try to help Curry + Green, the two cores, to defend the home to win two consecutive wins.
On the other hand, on the Grizzlies side, almost all the teams in this campaign are playing, and Morant, as the leader of the team, will undoubtedly face great challenges and tests in this game!
However, after four quarters of play, the Grizzlies, who were dominated by backdoors, although under the excellent play of Morant + Dillon Brooks + Jalan Jackson Jr., once overwhelmed the Warriors and occupied a slight advantage on the court.
But after returning from the second half, Curry + Gary Payton II in the third quarter ushered in an outbreak at the same time, leading the Warriors to play a wave of counterattack frenzy, instantly turning the situation on the court.
Coupled with the final game, Curry teamed up with Gary Payton II to take over the game, blasting out a 7-0 wave that completely ended the Grizzlies' counterattack momentum.
In the end, the Warriors also reversed the Grizzlies 113-104 at home, winning 2 consecutive wins and giving the opponent Grizzlies 3 consecutive losses!
In this game at home, the Warriors took advantage of the victory to chase, and when the team was short of major generals, the play of the star Curry and Gary Payton II, who was entrusted by coach Kerr, was particularly critical!
Curry exploded in full swing, starting 46 minutes, shooting 8 three-pointers on 13 of 22 shooting, and scoring a game-high 46 points, plus 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
In the second half, his heroic performance of personally slashing 30 points not only led by example to help the Warriors withstand the pressure, but also once became a difficult existence for the Grizzlies!
Of course, the Warriors were able to win this game, and the performance of Tigers Gary Payton II also played a crucial role.
Gary Payton II was tasked with playing 31 minutes and shooting four three-pointers on 9-of-16 shooting, contributing an efficient performance of 22 points, 2 rebounds , 1 assist and 1 block.
And the excellent performance of Gary Payton II in this campaign not only provided the Warriors with strong vitality and firepower, but also completely disrupted the defensive rhythm and deployment of the Grizzlies, and completed the reversal for the Warriors.
Obviously, for the Warriors, who are in the process of employment, as well as head coach Kerr, in the absence of Wiggins + Jordan Poole at the same time, the emergence of Gary Payton II has indeed solved the team's current urgent needs.
Rationally speaking, looking at gary Payton II's performance this season, it has to be said that Gary Payton II, who can attack and defend, is undoubtedly another 3D player that head coach Cole has gained!
On the other hand, on the Grizzlies side, although the team played a tenacious performance of 5 people scoring doubles in this game, the team could not prevent Curry in the second half, failed to withstand the pressure, and finally lost the game process of losing 3 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, despite the team's three main players, Morant + Jalan Jackson Jr. + Melton played well and cut a 20+ outstanding performance at the same time.
But in the face of Curry, who has gone crazy, and Gary Payton II, who has suddenly appeared, the Grizzlies who have worked hard all this game seem to have no choice but to accept the reality of losing!
For the Grizzlies, who have lost three consecutive games, considering the star Morant, the state of affairs after the comeback still needs to be adjusted, and the next schedule is not easy.
Whether the Grizzlies, who are suffering from the enemy on their backs, can still maintain the ranking of the top 4 in the West, from the current situation, it seems that there are indeed many variables and uncertainties!
