On March 17, Beijing time, the Warriors lost to the Celtics 88-110 at home, and the four-game winning streak was ended. The turning point of the game came in the second quarter, when Curry was mistakenly injured by Smart, who then withdrew from the game due to injury. After Curry's injury retreated, the Warriors' overall strength and competitiveness declined. Although in the third quarter, Poole ushered in an explosion, he scored 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting in a single quarter to help the team narrow the point gap. But Curry's injury had a big impact on the team, and in the end, the Warriors also suffered a crushing defeat at home, and the winning streak was ended.
The overall performance of the Celtics in this game was still very good, and in the first quarter against the Warriors with Curry, they also played a very smooth offense, giving the Warriors a lot of pressure on the defensive end. In the first quarter, the Celtics blasted a 23-17 offense, and only let the Warriors score 17 points in a single quarter, which was a good performance. In the second quarter, after Curry was injured, the Warriors' offense fell into passivity, and the Celtics increased their defensive intensity, they only let the Warriors score 15 points in a single quarter, and the team won by 10 points. At the end of the half, the Celtics led the team by 16 points at 48-32, and the advantage was obvious.
In the second half, the Celtics played steadily, they did not give the Warriors a chance, the team was efficient on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and completely dominant. In the end, the Celtics won a big away game to avoid a losing streak, and in the last 7 games, the team has a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.
In this game, the three Celtics players scored 20+ points, of which Tatum had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Smart had 20 points and 8 assists, and Brown contributed 26 points, these three players became the heroes of the team's victory, they played well on the offensive end, they were also very aggressive on the defensive end, and their excellent performance also helped the team successfully beat the Warriors on the road.
On the Warriors side, Curry only played 13 minutes and 40 seconds in this campaign, scoring 3 points on 1 of 4 shots, and then because of Smart's accidental injury, he was replaced, and the game did not return, and the single-game 3 points also created a new single-game scoring record for Curry this season. Curry's game, which has a very big impact on the team, they can only rely on Klay and Poole on the offensive end, this campaign Poole's performance is not bad, he shot 10 of 20, 6 of 13 three-pointers to get 29 points, continue to continue his efficient performance. Clay suffered a very harsh bag in this game, he shot inaccurately, he shot 8 of 24 in the whole game, 1 of 11 three-pointers only scored 18 points, and other players did not play well, which also led to the team's final defeat to the Celtics.
In fact, losing a game for the Warriors will not affect the overall record of the team. However, for the team, Curry's injury has cast a shadow over them in the playoffs, Curry is the absolute core of the team, and this season the team can get such an excellent record, Curry's play is very critical. With little left in the regular season, Curry was injured, which would hit the team's roster a lot. If Curry needs to be absent for a period of time, the team's record may decline, which is not conducive to the team's performance in the playoffs, and finally hope that Curry can return as soon as possible.
