For this reason, the two teams played very fiercely in this game, and it lasted until the last moment before the two teams were divided. In the end, after four quarters of fighting, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 117-115.
Objectively speaking, the main reason why the Warriors were able to withstand the Lakers' counterattack in the last quarter of this game was the excellent performance of the "Splash Brothers". In this game, Thompson and Curry combined to contribute 57 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Among them, Thompson played 29 minutes and got 33 points and 5 rebounds, and Thompson really took over the game alone in the last quarter, and the Lakers who shot three-pointers were a bit skeptical of life. Curry played 36 minutes and had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Although Curry's scoring efficiency is not high, Curry can score consecutive points in the decisive moment to help the team out of the predicament, and is a very qualified leader player.
Well, after talking about the warriors who won, let's talk about the lakers who lost. As for the reasons why the Lakers lost this game will not be described to everyone one by one, and this article Xiaobian wants to focus on talking about James. James played 38 minutes and shot 9-of-27, including 3-of-10 from three-point range and 5-of-9 from the free throw line, with 26 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists for a quasi-triple-double.

Seeing this, some fans may say that the Lakers have lost james, what else to blow? Yes, the Lakers did lose this game, but James's performance in this game was remarkable. Fans who have watched the game will know how hard James played in this game. On the offensive end, James' desire to attack autonomously is very strong, and in the first three quarters, when the team's attack is not smooth, It is James who supports the team. At a difficult time when the team's offensive style of play, James stood up and used his own containment to comb the team's offense.

I don't know, have you seen such a shot? At the end of the game, James's expression was very frustrated, and his face was full of unwillingness. I don't know, what do you think when you see James's expression? Anyway, I'm not feeling good. Perhaps, many fans are taking the championship as a measure of James? Or in the eyes of many fans, James's failure to win the championship is a failure? However, from my point of view, the championship is no longer so important for James. The reason is very simple, because James has done well enough in the NBA that he doesn't need to prove anything in the NBA now. Because, even if James retires now, he must be the top three players in NBA history.
