On March 23, Beijing time, the NBA field broke out of the big cold. The Magic, who are the bottom of the Eastern Conference, upset the third Warriors in the West at home 94-90. In this game, although the Warriors played a 36-19 score in the third quarter, they once led by 14 points. But in the final quarter, the Warriors were completely dumbfounded, scoring only 16 points in a single quarter. In the final moments, Thompson's fatal three-point foul left the Warriors losing hope.
Curry continues to be out of the game, and the Warriors have now suffered two straight losses, 1.5 wins behind second-place Grizzlies. With the Warriors currently only 2.5 wins ahead of the Jazz behind them, their second place in the West isn't very solid either. Therefore, against a weak team like the Magic, the Warriors undoubtedly need to take it. But in this game, the Magic played very tenaciously.
In the first quarter, the Warriors were blocked on the offensive end, and only 17 points were scored in a single quarter. In the second quarter, the offensive efficiency of both sides remained low. In the half, the Warriors scored just 38 points. Fortunately, the Magic's offense was not outstanding, and the Magic led by eight points at 46-38 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Warriors finally broke out under the leadership of Poole, Who scored 12 points in a single quarter, and Klay also hit two three-pointers. The Warriors blasted 36-19 in a single quarter!
However, in the final quarter, the Warriors offense suddenly lost power. After 10 minutes, the Warriors scored just 11 points in a single quarter. The Magic took advantage of the opportunity to close the score, and with a hit near the free throw line, the Magic rebounded 86-85 to win the score. Wiggins hit a three-pointer, but Bamba responded strongly. At the crucial moment, Clay committed a three-point foul. The Warriors lost hope of winning and eventually lost the game.
Tang Shen's foul was indeed extremely fatal, and he himself was more depressed, closing his eyes and being silent. And coach Cole is also helpless, showing a bitter smile. The home crowd gave a standing ovation and the scene boiled over. In the whole game, The Warriors Poole had 26 points, Porter had 14 points and 15 boards, Tang Shen had 15 points, and Wiggins had 13 points and 8 boards. On the Magic side, Carter 19 points, Wagner Jr. 18 points, Anthony 14 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, they won a wonderful victory at home.
